Pre-operation checks

Bilge water check
Make sure that no bilge water has collected in
the engine compartment and the fuel tank
compartment. If bilge water has collected in
the engine compartment and the fuel tank
compartment, drain it. (See page 83 for infor-
mation on draining the bilge water.)
Drain plug check
Loosen the drain plugs and remove them,
and then make sure that the plugs and the O-
rings on the hull drain plugs are not damaged
and that there is no foreign material on the
threads or the O-rings on the hull drain plugs.
NOTICE: Before installing the drain plugs,
clean the drain plug threads and the
O-rings on the hull drain plugs to remove
any foreign materials, such as dirt or sand.
Otherwise, the drain plugs could be dam-
aged, allowing water to enter the engine
compartment or the fuel tank compart-
ment. Make sure that the drain plugs are
tightened securely before launching the
boat. Otherwise, water may flood the boat
and cause it to submerge.
Securely install the drain plugs by tightening
them until they stop.

Blower switch check
Gasoline vapors can explode. Before
starting the engine, check the engine
compartment for gasoline, gasoline va-
pors, and loose electrical connections,
and then operate the blower for at least 4
minutes. Do not start the engine or oper-
ate the blower if you can smell gasoline
vapors in the engine compartment or if
there are any loose electrical connections.
Contact a Yamaha Boat Dealer if there is a
problem you cannot locate or correct.
Make sure that the blower operates properly
when the blower switch is pushed.
