SAFETYINFORMATION


10 SAFETY INFORMATION

SAFETY

Your safety and that of your passengersand fellow boaters is YOUR responsibil-ity. Before launching your boat, youshould completely read and understandthis Operator’s Guide, product warningsand labels, the Safety Videocassetteand other information provided withyour boat or by your dealer. Heed andfollow all warnings, safety precautionsand operating procedures.BRP strongly recommends that youtake an approved boating safety course.Always operate your boat in compliancewith safe boating rules, and with consid-eration, courtesy and common sense.Failure to do so could result in injury, in-cluding the possibility of death, to you,your passengers, others you lend yourboat to, or other water users.

Safe Boating ChecklistWhen leaving on a cruise, whether foran hour or for several days, go throughthe following SAFE BOATING Check-list.

Reminders Regarding Operation...– The performance of this boat may

significantly exceed that of otherboats you may have operated. Be-come completely familiar with thecontrols and operation of this boatbefore embarking on your first trip ortaking on a passenger(s). If you havenot had the opportunity to do so, prac-tice driving solo in a suitable traffic-free area and feel the response ofeach control. Be fully familiar with allcontrols before accelerating aboveidle speed. Do not assume that allboats handle identically. Each modeldiffers, often substantially.

– Always keep in mind that as thethrottle lever is returned to the idleposition, less directional control isavailable. To turn the boat , bothsteering and throttle are necessary.

– Like any other boat, this boat has nobrake. Stopping distance will vary de-pending on initial speed, load, wind,and water conditions. Practice stop-ping and docking in a safe, traffic-freearea to have an idea of how long itwill take to stop the boat under vary-ing conditions. Do not release thethrottle when trying to steer awayfrom objects. You need throttle tosteer. Do not use the boat's reverseto stop.

– Do not start or operate the boat if anyperson is not properly seated in a seatintended for use when underway (notthe sun deck or swim platform) or if aperson is nearby in the water.

– The boat's jet thrust can cause inju-ry. Always accelerate slowly, and de-celerate in a controlled fashion.

– Observe the instructions on all safe-ty labels. They are there to help as-sure that you have a safe and enjoy-able outing.

– Riding with passenger(s) or pullingother boats, tubes, a skier or awakeboarder makes the boat han-dle differently and requires greaterskill.

– Certain boats may come equippedwith tow eyelets, a ski pole or awakeboard tower which can be usedto attach a tow rope for a skier, tubeor wakeboarder. Do not use these at-tachment points or any other portionof the boat to tow a parasail or anoth-er craft. Personal injury or severedamage may occur.

– In shallow water, proceed with cau-tion and at very low speeds. Ground-ing or abrupt stops may result in in-jury to you, your passengers orothers. The jet pump may pick updebris and throw it rearward causinga risk of injuring people or damagingthe jet pump or other property.



– Engine exhaust contains carbonmonoxide (CO), which can cause in-jury or death if inhaled in sufficientquantities. Do not operate the boatin a confined area or allow CO to ac-cumulate in or around the boat, or inenclosed or sheltered areas. Suchas when docked, or when rafting.Be aware of risk of CO from exhaustof other boats.

– Educate all occupants about therisks and symptoms of CO accumu-lation and CO poisoning, particularlyfrom engine and generator exhaust.Educate them about where engineexhaust outlets (and generator out-lets if so equipped) are located.Regularly inspect exhaust and gen-erator system and outlets for com-ponent failures or obstructions.

– Combustion engines need air to op-erate; consequently this boat cannot be totally watertight. Any ma-neuvers such as figure eights thatcause the upper deck to be underwater may cause severe engineproblems due to water ingestion.Refer to the SPECIAL PROCE-DURES and LIMITED WARRANTYsections contained in this Opera-tor's Guide.

– Respect no wake zones, the rightsof other water users and the envi-ronment. As the “skipper” andowner of a boat, you are responsi-ble for damage to other boatscaused by the wake of your boat. Donot let anyone throw refuse over-board.

– Between sunset and sunrise, usethe boat's navigation lights and re-duce speed. Do not operate theboat in reduced visibility.

– Do not add accessories or equipmentthat may adversely affect visibility oralter control of the boat.

– The skipper should personally takethe helm during storms.

Before Getting Underway...– Always perform the pre-operation

checks as specified in this Opera-tor's Guide.

– Do not exceed the payload or pas-senger capacities for this boat,which are listed on the capacityplate and in the specifications.Overloading can affect maneuver-ability, stability and performance.Also, heavy seas reduce capacity. Apayload or person capacity plate isnot an excuse for failure to use com-mon sense or good judgment.

– Regularly inspect the boat, the hull,engine, safety equipment, and allother boating gear and keep them insafe operating condition.

– Be sure you have the minimum re-quired safety equipment, PFDs andany additional gear needed for yourcruise.

– Check that all lifesaving equipment,including fire extinguisher, is in safeoperating condition and easily acces-sible. Show all passengers wherethis equipment is, and make surethey know how to use it.

– Keep an eye on the weather. Checklocal weather broadcasts before de-parture. Be alert to changing condi-tions.

– Keep accurate and up-to-date chartsof the boating area on board. Beforegetting underway, check water con-ditions in the planned boating area.

– Before departure, file a Float Planwith a responsible person ashore.

– Keep enough fuel on board for theplanned trip. Always verify fuel levelbefore use and during the ride. Ap-ply the principle of 1/3 of the fuel toreach your destination, 1/3 to re-turn, and keep 1/3 in reserve. Allowfor changes due to adverse weatheror other delays.



Operators and Passengers...– Never operate a boat while under

the influence of drugs or alcohol. Itis a Federal offense. Allow only qual-ified drivers to operate your boat.Remember that sun, wind, alcohol,drugs, fatigue or illness may impairyour judgement and reaction time.

– At least one passenger should beable to operate the boat in case theoperator is unexpectedly unable todo so.

– Operation of this boat by a personunder 16 years of age or a personwith a disability that impairs vision,reaction time, judgment, or opera-tion of the controls is NOT recom-mended.

– Always use the lanyard stop switchwhen operating the boat and en-sure that all passengers are familiarwith its use.

– Ensure that any operator and all pas-sengers know how to swim andhow to re-board the boat from thewater. If a passenger does notknow how to swim, ensure thatpassenger wears a PFD at all timesand take extra precautions whenboating.

Regarding Fuel and Fueling...

– Remember that fuel and gasolinefumes are flammable and explosiveunder certain conditions. Be verycareful when fueling and adhere tothe fueling procedures contained inthis Operator's Guide and those giv-en to you by the marina. Alwaysstop the engine before fueling andnever allow anyone to remain in theboat while fueling. Each time you fillup, assure that the engine compart-ment is free of gasoline vapors, andinspect fuel lines for leaks and hosedeterioration.

– Do not smoke or allow open flamesor sparks in the vicinity.

– Know the capacity of the fuel tank.Avoid fueling at night except underwell-lit conditions. Gas spills are notnoticeable in the dark. Do not carryspare fuel or flammable liquids inany of the storage or engine com-partments.

Safety EquipmentAn operator and the boat's passen-ger(s) should have ready access toshatterproof glasses should riding con-ditions or personal preference warrant.Wind, water spray and speed maycause a person's eyes to water andcreate blurred vision.As the owner of the boat, you are re-sponsible for assuring that all requiredsafety equipment is aboard. You shouldalso consider supplying additionalequipment as needed for your safetyand that of your passengers. Checkstate and local regulations and call theU.S. Coast Guard Boating Safety Hot-line at 1 800 368-5647 for informationabout required safety equipment.

Required Safety Equipment

Safety equipment required by federalregulations is mandatory. Personal flo-tation devices must be fitted to thepeople wearing them. If local regula-tions require additional equipment, itmust be approved by the U.S. CoastGuard (USCG). Minimum require-ments include the following:– personal flotation devices– fire extinguisher– visual distress signal– navigation lights– bell or whistle.A cellular telephone in a waterproofbag or container has also been foundto be beneficial to boaters when in dis-tress or just for contacting someoneon shore.



Personal Flotation Devices (PFDs)

Federal regulations require that youhave at least one Coast Guard ap-proved personal flotation device (PFD)for each person in a recreational boatand require that all children under 13years of age wear a PFD at all timeswhen the boat is underway, exceptwhen below deck or in an enclosedcabin. You may not use your boat un-less all PFDs are in serviceable condi-tion, readily accessible, legibly markedwith the Coast Guard approval num-ber, and of an appropriate size (withinthe weight range and chest sizemarked on the PFD) for each personon board. A PFD provides buoyancy to help keepyour head above the water and to helpyou remain in a satisfactory positionwhile in the water. Body weight andage should be considered when se-lecting a PFD. The buoyancy providedby the PFD should support yourweight in water. The size of the PFDshould be appropriate for the wearer.Body weight and chest size are com-mon methods used to size PFDs. It isyour responsibility to ensure that youhave the proper number and types ofPFDs on board to comply with federaland local regulations and that your pas-sengers know where they are andhow to use them.

PFD TypesFive types of PFDs have been ap-proved by the U.S. Coast Guard.

PFD Type I, Wearable has the greatestrequired buoyancy. Its design allowsfor turning most unconscious personsin the water from face down positionto a vertical or slightly backward, face-up position. It can greatly increase thechances of survival. Type I is most ef-fective for all waters, especially off-shore when rescue may be delayed. Itis also the most effective in rough wa-ters.

TYPE I — WEARABLE

PFD Type II, Wearable turns its wearerin the same way as Type I, but not aseffectively. The Type Il does not turn asmany persons under the same condi-tions as a Type I. You may prefer to usethis PFD where there is a probability ofquick rescue such as in areas whereother people are commonly involved inwater activities.

TYPE II — WEARABLE

��

��



PFD Type III, Wearable allows wearersto place themselves in a vertical orslightly backward position. It does notturn the wearer. It maintains the wear-er in a vertical or slightly backward po-sition and has no tendency to turn thewearer face down. It has the samebuoyancy as a Type Il PFD and may beappropriate in areas where other peo-ple are commonly involved in water ac-tivities.

TYPE III — WEARABLE

PFD Type IV, Throwable is required inaddition to the PFDs previously dis-cussed. The most common Type IVPFD is a buoyant cushion or ring buoy.It is designed to be thrown to a personin the water, grasped and held by theuser until he or she is rescued. A TypeIV PFD should always be in serviceablecondition and immediately availablefor use. Grasping this PFD may be dif-ficult if the rescue is delayed or if theuser is overcome by hypothermia (lossof body heat).

TYPE IV — THROWABLE

PFD Type V, Wearable must be worn.When inflated, it provides buoyancyequivalent to Type I, Il or III PFDs.When it is deflated, however, it maynot support some people.

TYPE V — WEARABLE

PFD PointersThe purpose of a PFD is to help saveyour life. If you want it to support youwhen you are in the water, it needs tofit, float, and be in good condition.– Try the PFD on and adjust it until it

fits comfortably in and out of thewater. Mark your PFD if you are theonly wearer.

– To make sure the PFD works, wearit in the water. This will show youhow it works and give you confi-dence when you use it.

– Teach children how to put a PFD onand allow them to try it in the water.That way, they know what the PFDis for and how it works. They willfeel more comfortable with it if theysuddenly find themselves in the wa-ter.

– If the PFD is wet, allow it to dry thor-oughly before storing it. Do not dryit in front of a radiator or heater.Store it in a well-ventilated area.

– Keep PFDs away from sharp ob-jects which can tear the fabric orpuncture the flotation pads.

��

��

��



– For their own safety and the safetyof others, all non-swimmers, poorswimmers, and small childrenshould wear PFD’s at all timeswhether the boat is stationary ormoving.

– Check the PFD frequently to makesure that it is not torn, that flotationpads have no leaks, and that allseams and joints are securelysewn.

– If a PFD contains kapok, the kapokfibers may become waterloggedand lose their buoyancy after the vi-nyl inserts are punctured. If thekapok becomes hard or if it issoaked with water, replace it. It maynot work when you need it.

HypothermiaHypothermia, the loss of body heat tothe water, is a significant cause ofdeaths in boating accidents. After anindividual has succumbed to hypother-mia, he or she will lose consciousnessand then drown.PFDs can increase survival time be-cause of the insulation they provide.Naturally, the warmer the water, theless insulation one will require. Whenoperating in cold water (below 4.4°C or(40°F)) consideration should be givento using a coat or jacket style PFD asthey cover more of the body than thevest style PFDs.Some points to remember about hypo-thermia protection:1. While a float in the water, do not at-

tempt to swim unless it is to reacha nearby boat, fellow survivor, or afloating object on which you canlean or climb. Unnecessary swim-ming increases the rate of body heatloss. In cold water, drown-proofmethods that require putting yourhead in the water are not recom-mended. Keep your head out of thewater. This will greatly lessen heatloss and increase your survival time.

2. Keep a positive attitude about yoursurvival and rescue. This will im-prove your chances of extendingyour survival time until rescue. Yourwill-to-live does make a difference!

3. If there is more than one person inthe water, huddling is recommend-ed while waiting to be rescued. Thisaction tends to reduce the rate ofheat loss and thus increase the sur-vival time.

4. Always wear your PFD. It won'thelp you fight off the effects of hy-pothermia if you don't have it onwhen you go into the water.

Fire ExtinguishersAs the owner of the boat, you are re-sponsible for supplying a fire extin-guisher approved by the U.S. CoastGuard.All Class 1 powerboats 4.8 m to 7.9 m(16 to less than 26 feet) are required tocarry one (1) B-1 type hand portable fireextinguisher unless the boat isequipped with a fixed fire extinguish-ing system in the engine compart-ment.Hand-held portable fire extinguishersshould be mounted in readily accessi-ble locations away from the enginecompartment. All persons aboardshould know the location and properoperation of the fire extinguisher(s).NOTE: Don't test fire extinguishers bysquirting small amounts of the extin-guishing compound. The extinguishermight not work when you really need it!

Visual Distress Signal DevicesVisual distress signal devices ap-proved by the U.S. Coast Guard are re-quired on all recreational boats operat-ing on coastal waters and on boatsowned in the United States when theyare operating on the high seas. Coastalwaters include territorial seas andthose waters directly connected to theGreat Lakes and the territorial seas upto a point where the waters are lessthan 3.2 km (2 m.) wide. Visual distresssignal equipment may be of the pyro-technic or non-pyrotechnic type. Reg-ulations prohibit display of visual dis-tress signals on the water under anycircumstances except when assis-tance is required to prevent immediateor potential danger to persons onboard a vessel.The equipment must be approved bythe U.S. Coast Guard, be in serviceablecondition, and be stowed in a readilyaccessible location. Equipment havinga date for serviceable life must be with-in the specified usage date shown.Careful selection and proper stowageof visual distress equipment is very im-portant if children are aboard.

Sound Signaling DevicesNOTE: No single signaling device isappropriate for all purposes. Considerkeeping various types of equipment onboard.Boats less than 7.9 m (26 ft) in lengthare required to carry a hand, mouth, orpower operated horn or whistle. Itmust produce a blast of two secondduration and audible at a distance of atleast 0.8 km (1/2 m.).Following are standard whistle signals:– one prolonged blast

(warning signal)– one short blast

(pass on my port side)– two short blasts

(pass on my starboard side)– three short blasts

(engines in reverse)– five or more blasts

(danger signal).

Navigation LightsNavigation lights are intended to keepother vessels informed of your pres-ence and course. If you are out on thewater between sunset and sunrise,you are required to display appropriatenavigation lights.

Additional Recommended EquipmentIt is recommended that you acquireadditional equipment for safe, enjoy-able cruising. This list, which is not allinclusive, includes items you shouldconsider acquiring.

BASIC GEAR– flashlight– mooring lines– compass– oar or paddle– distress signals

Carbon Monoxide and BoatingBurning a material containing carbonproduces carbon monoxide (CO), anodorless and colorless gas. BecauseCO weighs the same as air, it canspread throughout an enclosed spaceunnoticed because you cannot see itor smell it. Any device used to burncarbon-based materials on a boat canbe a source of CO. Common sourcesof CO include internal combustion en-gines.CO reacts with the blood to reduce theability of the blood to carry oxygen.The reduced oxygen supply to bodytissues results in death of the tissue.Prolonged exposure can cause braindamage or death. In high concentra-tions, CO can be fatal within minutes.The effects of CO in lower concentra-tions are cumulative and can be just aslethal over long periods of time.Symptoms of CO poisoning include:Itchy and watering eyes, flushed ap-pearance, throbbing temples, inabilityto think coherently, ringing in the ears,tightness across the chest, head-aches, drowsiness, nausea, dizziness,fatigue, vomiting, collapse, and con-vulsions. If any of these symptoms areevident, begin treatment immediately.Prompt action can make the differencebetween life and death.– Evacuate the area and move the vic-

tim to fresh air.– Administer oxygen if available and

get medical help.– Open all canvas enclosures to ven-

tilate the area.– Investigate the source of CO and

take immediate corrective action.– Be especially aware of other CO

sources which may be near boat.



Carbon Monoxide Accumulation

Following are examples of possible situations where CO may accumulate withinyour boat while docked, anchored, or underway. Become familiar with these ex-amples and their precautions to prevent personal injury or death.

VESSEL ALONGSIDE

WHILE UNDERWAY (BACKDRAFTING)

� WARNING

Exhaust Fumes! Generator or hull exhaust from other vessels while eitherdocked or anchored can emit poisonous CO gas and cause excessive ac-cumulation within cabin and cockpit areas. Be alert for generator exhaustfrom your vessel or other vessels alongside.

��

� WARNING

Carbon Monoxide! CO can be harmful or fatal if inhaled. Keep exhaustoutlets clear of blockage. Provide adequate ventilation. Open canvas en-closures to ensure adequate ventilation. Avoid operating the boat for ex-tended periods of time at idle speed, and be sensitive to weather conditionsthat may prevent CO from dissipating into the air when the canvas is de-ployed.

��



While underway, CO concentrations can increase by backdrafting or “the stationwagon effect”. Backdrafting is caused by factors such as relative wind direction,speed, or the bow being too high. To prevent this, open canvas whenever possibleto provide positive airflow through the hull.Boat houses, seawalls, and other boats in close proximity or confined areas cancontribute to increased CO levels. Operators must be aware that operation, moor-ing, and anchoring in an area with other boats puts them in jeopardy of CO accu-mulation from other sources. Likewise, a boat operator must be aware of howexhaust from his boat will affect others. Operation of the engines while mooredmay cause CO accumulation in your boat and those around you.

CONFINED AREAS

Be sure to provide adequate ventilation. If the windshield has vents, open thembefore getting underway to increase positive air flow and decrease the chancesof CO accumulation.

Even with the best boat design and construction, CO may still accumulate inenclosed or confined areas under certain conditions. Continually observe passen-gers for symptoms of CO poisoning.

��

� WARNING

Backdrafting! Under certain conditions, moving air currents can direct poi-sonous CO fumes into boat. These fumes can accumulate to dangerouslevels without proper airflow. Provide adequate ventilation, redistributethe load or bring boat out of high bow angle.



Do NOT operate your boat without performing the following checklists:

Each Boating Day

CO DetectorIt is strongly recommended that youhave CO detectors installed in boatswith canvas enclosures. Monitors areavailable from your dealer. Monitorsshould be professionally installed andcalibrated.NOTE: A CO detector is not a gas fuelvapor detector. Gas fuel vapor detec-tors do not monitor the buildup of COin an enclosed area.

Lanyard Stop SwitchThis safety device automatically stopsthe engine if the lanyard is attached tothe operator and the operator fallsfrom the control station.

The DESS post incorporates a shutoffswitch, lanyard cap, lanyard, and lan-yard clip. The lanyard clip must be se-curely attached to the operator's PFD,clothing, arm, or leg. Be sure to attachthe lanyard clip to a place where it isfree of obstructions and to somethingthat will move with the operator if heor she leaves the helm station. If theengine shuts down because the lan-yard cap was removed, the cap mustbe reinstalled on the DESS post beforethe engine can be restarted.

TYPICAL — IGNITION INTERRUPTER(STOP SWITCH) WITH LANYARD

1. Stop switch clip2. Safety lanyard

OPERATION ✔

Make sure you and your passengers know where exhaust outlets are located on the vessel

Educate all passengers about the symptoms of CO poisoning and where CO may accumulate

When docked or rafting with another boat, be aware of exhaust emissions from the other boat

Confirm that water flows from the exhaust outlet when the engine(s) is(are) started

Listen for any change in exhaust sound, which could indicate an exhaust component failure

Test the operation of each CO alarm by pressing the test button

� WARNING

Always use the safety lanyardwhen operating your boat. Keeplanyard stop switch free from ob-structions that could interfere withits operation. Do not modify or re-move lanyard stop switch or by-pass its safety features. The prop-er use of the lanyard stop switchcan prevent a runaway boat situa-tion which otherwise could causesevere personal injury or death.

Safe Boating PracticesYOU are responsible for your ownsafety, the safety of your passengers,and the safety of fellow boaters.

Drugs and AlcoholDo not use drugs or drink alcohol whileoperating a boat. Like driving a car,driving a boat requires sober, attentivecare. Operating a boat while intoxicat-ed or under the influence of drugs isnot only dangerous, but it is also a Fed-eral offense carrying a significant pen-alty. These laws are vigorously en-forced. The use of drugs and alcohol,singly or in combination, decreases re-action time, impedes judgment, im-pairs vision, and inhibits your ability tosafely operate a boat.

Safe OperationFor safety reasons and proper care, al-ways perform “Daily Pre-OperationChecks” as specified in your Opera-tor's Guide before operating your boat.Safe operation means that you do notmisuse your boat nor do you allowyour passengers to do so. Safe opera-tion means using good judgment at alltimes. It includes, without limitation,the following actions:– Load the boat within the limits listed

on the capacity plate. Balance loadsbow to stern and port to starboard.

– Maintain boat speed at or below thelocal legal limit. Avoid excessivespeed or speeds not appropriate foroperating conditions.

– Do not use the boat in weather orsea conditions beyond the skill orexperience of the operator or thecomfortable capability of the boat orpassengers.

– Be sure at least one other passen-ger is familiar with the operationand safety aspects of the boat incase of an emergency.

– Make sure that passengers andgear do not obstruct the operator'sview or ability to move.

– Do not exceed the maximum en-gine power rating stated on the cer-tification plate attached to the boat.

– Observe all safety signs and warn-ings both inside the boat and in theimmediate boating area.

Passenger SafetyBefore getting underway, show allpassengers where emergency andsafety equipment is stowed, and ex-plain how to use it. Everyone aboardshould wear rubber-soled shoes whichresist slipping on wet surfaces. Whileunderway, passengers should remainseated inside the deck rails. Don't al-low passengers to drag their feet orhands in the water. Always use hand-holds and other safety hardware toprevent falls. All non-swimmers, poorswimmers, and children should wear aPFD at all times. Federal regulationsrequire that children under 13 years ofage wear a PFD when the boat is un-derway unless they are in an enclosedcabin or below deck.

� WARNING

Alcohol consumption and boatingdo not mix! Operating under theinfluence endangers the lives ofyour passengers and other boat-ers. Federal laws prohibit operat-ing a boat under the influence ofalcohol or drugs.



First Aid

As a boat operator, you should be fa-miliar with basic first aid proceduresthat may be needed while you are farfrom help. Fish hook accidents or mi-nor cuts and abrasions may be themost serious mishaps on board a boat,but you should also learn the properprocedures and be ready to deal withthe truly serious problems like exces-sive bleeding, hypothermia, and burns.First aid literature and courses areavailable through most Red Crosschapters.

Operation by Minors

Minors should always be supervisedby an adult whenever operating a boat.Many states have laws regarding theminimum age and licensing require-ments of minors. Be sure to contactthe state boating authorities for infor-mation. BRP recommends a minimumoperator age of 16 years old.

Rules of the RoadAs a responsible boater, you will com-ply with the “Rules of the Road”, themarine traffic laws enforced by theU.S. Coast Guard. Navigating a boat ismuch the same as driving an automo-bile. Operating either one responsiblymeans complying with a set of rulesintended to prevent accidents. Just asyou assume other car drivers knowwhat they are doing, other boaters as-sume you know what you are doing.Operating a boat can be comparedwith driving unmarked highways androads. To prevent collisions or avoidother boaters, a system of operatingrules must be followed. It's not onlycommon sense...it's the law!Check local and federal boating lawsapplicable to the waterways whereyou intend to use your boat. Learn thelocal rules of the road. Know and un-derstand the applicable navigation sys-tem (such as buoys and signs).

Know the waters in which the boat isto be operated. Current, tides, rapids,hidden obstacles, wakes and wavesetc. can affect safe operation. It is notadvisable to operate the boat in roughor inclement weather.

Remember these Rulesof the Road

KNOW THE RIGHT OF WAY RULESGenerally keep to your right and safelyavoid other craft by keeping a safe dis-tance from other craft , people and ob-jects.

CROSSINGGive right of way to craft ahead and toyour right. Never cross in front of an-other craft.RED light (give way to the other craft).GREEN light (you have the right of way).

MEETING HEAD-ONKeep right.

PASSINGGive right of way to other craft andkeep clear.

Navigation SystemNavigational aids, such as signs orbuoys, can help you identify safe wa-ters. Buoys will indicate whether youshould keep to the right (starboard) orto the left (port) of the buoy or to whichchannel you can continue. They mayalso indicate whether you are enteringa restricted or controlled area such asa no wake or speed zone. They mayalso indicate hazards or pertinent boat-ing information. Markers may be locat-ed on shore or on the water. They canalso indicate speed limits, no powercraft or boating, anchorage and otheruseful information. (The shape of eachtype of marker will provide assis-tance).



Make sure you know and understandthe navigation system applicable tothe waterways where you intend touse the boat.

Collision Avoidance– Do not decrease throttle when try-

ing to steer away from objects. Youneed throttle to steer.

– Always keep a constant lookout forother water users, other craft or ob-jects, especially when turning. Bealert for conditions that may limityour visibility or block your vision ofothers.

– Respect the rights of other recre-ationists and/or bystanders and al-ways keep a safe distance from allother craft, people and objects.

– Do not wake or wave jump, ride thesurf line or attempt to spray orsplash others with your boat. Youmay misjudge the ability of the boator your own driving skills and strikea craft or person.

– This boat has the capability of turn-ing more sharply than other boats.However, unless in an emergency,do not negotiate sharp, high speedturns. Such maneuvers make it hardfor others to avoid you or under-stand where you are going. Also,you and/or your passenger(s) couldbe thrown from the boat.

– Like any other boat, this boat hasno brake. Stopping distance willvary depending on initial speed,load, wind, and water conditions.Practice stopping and docking in asafe, traffic free area to have an ideaof how long it will take to stop theboat under varying conditions.

– Maintaining or increasing speed maybe necessary to avoid a collision.

Safe Riding– Always keep in mind that as the

throttle lever is returned to idle po-sition, less directional control isavailable, and when the engine isoff, directional control is lost. Youneed throttle to steer.

– While your boat has the capacity ofoperating at high speeds, it isstrongly recommended that highspeed operation only be appliedwhen ideal conditions exist and arepermitted. Higher speed operationrequires a higher degree of skill andincreases the risk of severe injuries.

– In shallow water, proceed with cau-t ion and at very low speeds.Grounding or abrupt stops may re-sult in injury. Debris may also bepicked up and be thrown rearwardby the jet pump onto people or prop-erty.

– Do not use the boat's reverse tostop. You or your passenger(s)could be violently ejected forwardor even off the boat onto the hazard.

Operator/Passenger Awareness– Do not start or operate the boat if

anyone is seated on the sun deck orswim platform, or is nearby in thewater. Water and/or debris exiting jetthrust nozzle can cause severe injury.

– The operator and passenger(s) shouldbe properly seated before starting ormoving the boat. All passenger(s)should be instructed to use the hand-holds or seat straps provided.

– When accelerating a boat with apassenger(s), whether from a com-plete stop or while underway, al-ways do so progressively. Fast ac-ce le ra t ion may cause yourpassenger(s) to lose their balance orgrip and strike something in theboat or fall out of the boat. Makesure that your passenger(s) knowof, or anticipate, any rapid accelera-tion.



Maneuverability of the Boat/Towing– Do not overload the boat or take on

more passengers than designatedfor the particular boat. Overloadingcan affect maneuverability, stabilityand performance.

– Avoid adding on accessories or equip-ment which may alter your control ofthe boat.

– Riding with a passenger(s) or pullinga tube, skier or wakeboarder makesthe boat handle differently and re-quires greater skill.

– Always respect the safety and com-fort of your passenger(s) and per-son being towed on skis, wake-board or other towables.

– Always carry an observer when pull-ing a tube, skier or wakeboarder,proceed with only as much speedas required and follow the observ-er's instructions. Unless absolutelynecessary, do not make tight, sharpturns. Keep a safe distance from thedocks, other swimmers, craft or ob-jects.

– Use a tow rope of sufficient lengthand size and make sure it is ade-quately secured to your boat. Someboats are equipped or can be fittedwith a specially designed towingmechanism. It can become a hazardshould someone fall on it.

Don't Forget:– Ride smart from the start and we all

win!

Voluntary InspectionsState boating officials in many statesor the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliaries of-fer courtesy inspections to check outyour boat. They will check for compli-ance with safety standards and re-quired safety equipment. You may vol-untarily consent to one of theseinspections, and you are allowed timeto make corrections without prosecu-tion. Check with the appropriate stateagency or the Coast Guard Auxiliary fordetails.

Safe Boating CoursesThe local U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliaryand the U.S. Power Squadrons offercomprehensive safe boating classesseveral times a year. You may contactthe BOAT/U.S. Foundation at 1 800336-BOAT (2628) or, in Virginia, 1 800245-BOAT (2628), for a course sched-ule in your area. Also contact the localU.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary or PowerSquadron Flotilla for the time and placeof their next scheduled class. A boat-ing safety course is recommended andmay be required in your province orstate.

Water Sports

� WARNING

Avoid Personal Injury! Your boat isnot designed for and should notbe used for pulling parasails, kites,gliders, or any device which canbecome airborne. Use boat onlyfor appropriate water sports.



Water skiing, wakeboarding, or ridinga towed, inflatable apparatus are someof the more popular water sports. Tak-ing part in any water sport requires in-creased safety awareness by the par-ticipant and the boat operator. If youhave never pulled someone behindyour boat before, it is a good idea tospend some hours as an observer,working with and learning from an ex-perienced driver. It is also important tobe aware of the skill and experience ofthe person being pulled. Always havea second person on board to observethe person in the water so the drivercan concentrate on operating the boat.Both the boat operator and observershould monitor the location of the tow-rope when participating in water-sports. A slack tow rope can becomeentangled with person(s) or objects inthe boat or in the water, particularlywhen making a tight turn or circling,and cause serious personal injury.Everyone participating in a water sportshould observe these guidelines:1. Allow only capable swimmers to

take part in any water sport.

2. Always wear a personal flotationdevice (PFD) approved by the U.S.Coast Guard. Wearing a properlydesigned PFD helps a stunned orunconscious person stay afloat. AType-IV water-ski vest is an ap-proved and practical PFD.

3. Have a second person aboard toobserve the person being towedand inform the driver about theparticipant’s hand signals. Thedriver must give full attention tooperating the boat and the watersahead.

4. Be considerate to others youshare the water with.

5. Never allow a person to “teaksurf” behind your boat. Do nottow a person in any water sport ona short tow rope such that the per-son inhales exhaust fumes in con-centration. Inhalation of concen-trated exhaust fumes, whichcontain carbon monoxide, can re-sult in CO poisoning, personal in-jury and death.

6. Give immediate attention to a per-son who has fallen. He or she isvulnerable in the water alone andmay not be seen by other boaters.

7. Approach a person in the waterfrom the lee side (opposite the di-rection of the wind). Turn off themotor before coming close to theperson.

8. Turn off engine and anchor theboat before swimming.

9. Participate in water sports only insafe areas. Stay away from otherboats, channels, beaches, restrict-ed areas, swimmers, and heavilytraveled waterways and underwa-ter obstructions.

10. Swim only in areas designated assafe for swimming. These areusually marked with a swim areabuoy. Do not swim alone or atnight.

� WARNING

“Teak Surfing” is extremely dan-gerous to participants due to theirproximity to the rear of the boatwhere direct contact with the ex-haust fumes from the boat engineis the highest. Carbon monoxidepoisoning can occur and result inmental disorientation, dizziness,drowsiness, and loss of con-sciousness. The combination ofcarbon monoxide exposure andnon-use of a life jacket (PDF) makethis new water recreation activityan incredibly dangerous and po-tentially deadly sport.



SWIM AREA BUOY

11. Do not water ski between sunsetand sunrise. It is illegal in moststates.

12. Do not drive the boat directly be-hind a water skier, tuber or wake-boarder. At 40 km (25 m.) per hour,the boat will overtake a personwho falls in the water 60 m(200 ft) in front of your boat inabout 5 seconds.

13. Shut engine off and remove igni-tion key when anyone is in the wa-ter nearby.

14. Stay at least 45 m (150 ft) awayfrom areas marked by a diver downfloat.

DIVER DOWN FLOAT

� WARNING

Avoid Personal Injury! Do not al-low anyone near the jet pump orintake grate, even when the en-gine is off. Items such as long hair,loose clothing or personal flota-tion device straps can become en-tangled in moving parts resultingin serious injury or drowning. Inshallow water, shells, sand, peb-bles or other objects could bedrawn up by the jet pump and bethrown rearward.

The safety lanyard should be securelysnapped onto the Digitally EncodedSecurity System (DESS™) post to befully operational.Pulling the safety lanyard cap from theDESS post stops engine. Always at-tach the safety lanyard to the opera-tor’s Personal Flotation Device andsnap the cap to the DESS post to beable to start each engine.

TYPICAL1. Safety lanyard2. Secure to PFD3. Snap to DESS post

CAUTION: Do not lubricate theDESS post.

� WARNING

Always use the safety lanyardwhen operating your boat to helpprevent a runaway boat and re-duce the risk of personal injury ordeath. Disconnect the lanyardwhen stopped to help prevent ac-cidental starting.

� WARNING

Should the safety lanyard cap be-come loose or fail to remain onDESS post, replace it immediately.

� WARNING

Directional control is reduced whenthrottle is decreased and lost whenengine is off. Always disconnectsafety lanyard when boat is not inoperation.

� WARNING

While the engines can be stoppedusing the start/stop buttons, gooddriving habits recommend that thesafety lanyard also be disconnectedwhen stopped.

��

Monitoring SystemTo assist you when using the boat, some components are monitored and audiblesignals are sent through a beeper to inform you of a particular condition. Thefollowing chart gives the coded signals related to the safety lanyard only. For otherpossible codes, refer to the TROUBLESHOOTING section.

Digitally Encoded Security System (DESS™)The safety lanyard cap specifically con-tains an electronic circuit that gives ita unique electronic serial number.This safety lanyard cannot be used onanother boat and conversely, the onefrom another boat cannot be used onyour boat.However, the DESS brings a great flex-ibility. You can buy additional safety lan-yards and have them programmed foryour boat. To have an additional safetylanyard programmed, refer to an autho-rized Sea-Doo sport boat dealer.

If the engines are stopped with thestart/stop buttons while the safety lan-yard remains on the DESS post, theycan be restarted within approximately10 minutes by pressing the start/stopbuttons. After this delay, it is neces-sary to remove and reinstall the lan-yard cap on the DESS post. Two shortbeeps should sound indicating the sys-tem is ready again to allow starting en-gines.

1) Steering WheelThe steering wheel controls the direc-tion of the boat. Turning the steeringwheel clockwise steers the boat to theright and inversely.

NUMBER OF BEEPS POSSIBLE CAUSE REMEDY2 shorts(while installing safety lanyard on DESS™ post).

• Everything is correct with the safety lanyard (good contact and the right lanyard cap).

• Engines can be started normally.

Engine OilRecommended OilThis boat features a 4-stroke enginethat requires 4-stroke motor oil for in-ternal engine lubrication. Ensure to re-spect the following requirements.

NA Engines

Sea-Doo sport boats featuring a 4-stroke engine without a superchargerrequire 4-stroke motor oil meeting therequirements for API service classifi-cation SL, SJ or SH. Always check theAPI service label on the oil container tobe sure it includes those letters.Bombardier 4-stroke oil SAE 10W-40(P/N 219 700 346) sold by authorizedSea-Doo sport boat dealers meetsthose requirements.

Supercharged Engines

Use Bombardier 4-stroke oil SAE 10W-40 (P/N 219 700 346) or an equivalentapproved by BRP. The same oil lubri-cates both the engine and the super-charger clutch. Bombardier 4-stroke oilSAE 10W-40 (P/N 219 700 346) hasbeen thoroughly tested to be free ofany additives that could impair thefunctionality of the superchargerclutch.

CAUTION: Do not add any additivesto the recommended oil. Bewarethat oils not recommended by BRPmay contain additives (friction mod-ifiers that may cause inappropriateslippage of the supercharger andeventually lead to premature wear.For this reason, oils other than Bom-bardier 4-stroke oil SAE 10W-40(P/N 219 700 346) or an approvedequivalent are not recommended.

All Engines

CAUTION: Never use any two-strokeengine oil.

Oil ViscosityThe same oil is recommended for allseasons and all ambient temperatures.

Oil LevelCAUTION: Check level frequentlyand refill if necessary. Do not overfill.Operating the engines with improperoil levels may severely damage en-gines. Wipe off any spillage.

TYPICAL1. Dipstick

��C

�


59

Check the oil level as follows:NOTE: Before checking the oil levelon these engines, it is necessary to letthem idle for 30 seconds before shut-ting the engines off. Then it is neces-sary to wait 30 seconds before the oilcan be checked. This is required to al-low the oil to properly level out in thedifferent oil chambers. Otherwise, youwill have a false oil level reading.1. Boat must be level. Check oil level

either with boat in water or out ofwater. Engines should be warm.

CAUTION: Never run engine(s) with-out supplying water to the exhaustcooling systems when boat is out ofwater.2. Once boat is on trailer, block the

wheels and raise the bow slightlywith the trailer jack (if so equipped)until the bumper rail is level. Install agarden hose to the flushing connec-tors. Refer to FLUSHING in POST-OPERATION CARE and follow theprocedure.

CAUTION: Failure to supply water tothe exhaust cooling systems, whenengines are out of water, may se-verely damage engines and/or ex-haust systems.3. Warm-up engines then let idle for

30 seconds before stopping.4. Stop engines.5. Wait at least 30 seconds then pull

each dipstick out and wipe clean.

CAUTION: Never run engines longerthan 5 minutes. Drive line seals haveno cooling when boat is out of water.6. Reinstall each dipstick, push in

completely.7. Remove each dipstick and read oil

levels. It should be between marks.

1. Full2. Add3. Operating range

8. Otherwise, add oil up to have thelevel between marks as required.

9. To add oil, unscrew oil cap. Place afunnel into the opening and add therecommended oil to the proper level.Do not overfill.

NOTE: Every time oil is added in en-gine, the complete procedure explainedabove must be done (engine restarted,idling for 30 seconds, 30 seconds wait-ing time and then, rechecking the oillevel). This is required to allow the oilto properly transfer in the different oilchambers and to then level. Other-wise, you will have a false oil levelreading. This must be done for eachengine.

TYPICAL1. Oil cap

10. Properly reinstall oil cap and dipstick.

� WARNING

Engine oil may be hot. Certaincomponents in the engine com-partment may be very hot. Directcontact may result in skin burn.

Engine CoolantRecommended CoolantAlways use ethylene-glycol antifreezecontaining corrosion inhibitors specifi-cally for internal combustion aluminumengines.NOTE: When available, it is recom-mended to use biodegradable anti-freeze compatible with internal com-bustion aluminum engines. This willcontribute to protecting the environ-ment.Cooling system must be filled with wa-ter and antifreeze solution (50% water,50% antifreeze).BRP sells premixed coolant with freez-ing protection up to - 52°C (- 62°F) (P/N219 700 362).To prevent antifreeze deterioration, al-ways use the same brand. Never mixdifferent brands unless cooling systemis completely flushed and refilled. Referto an authorized Sea-Doo sport boatdealer.

Coolant Level

With boat on a level surface, liquidshould be between MIN. and MAX.level marks of coolant reservoir wheneach engine is cold.

1. Level between marks when engine is cold

NOTE: The boat is considered levelwhen it is in water. When boat is on atrailer, block the wheels and raise thebow slightly with the trailer jack (if soequipped) until the bumper rail is level.Add coolant to have the level betweenmarks as required. Use a funnel toavoid spillage. Do not overfill.Properly reinstall and tighten filler capthen reinstall seat extension.NOTE: A cooling system that frequent-ly requires coolant indicates leaks orengine problems. See an authorizedSea-Doo sport boat dealer.

Coolant ReplacementRefer to MAINTENANCE section.

� WARNING

Check coolant level with en-gine(s) cold. Never add coolant incooling system when engine(s) ishot. � WARNING

In order to avoid potential burns,do not remove the radiator cap orloosen the engine drain plug ifthe engine is hot.

BREAK-IN PERIOD

CAUTION: Carefully follow the in-structions in this section. Failure todo so may reduce the life and/or per-formance of the engines.With Sea-Doo sport boats powered byRotax engines, a break-in period of 10hours is required for each engine beforecontinuous operation at full throttle.To achieve a good break-in, throttle le-vers should not be advanced more than3/4, however, brief acceleration andspeed variations contribute to a goodbreak-in.CAUTION: Continued wide openthrottle runs and prolonged cruisingwithout speed variations should beavoided. This can cause engine dam-age during the break-in period.NOTE: Never add oil in fuel tank.

10-Hour InspectionIt is highly recommended that after thefirst 10 hours of operation, the boat bechecked by an authorized Sea-Doosport boat dealer. This inspection willalso provide the opportunity to discussany unanswered questions you mayhave encountered during the first hoursof operation.

The 10-hour inspection is at theowner’s expense.

– A Sea-Doo cover can protect theboat, particularly before driving ondirt roads, to prevent dirt enteringthrough the air intake openings.

Observe trailering safety precautions.CAUTION: Always close and se-curely fasten rear storage compart-ment lid before trailering.

Principle of OperationPropulsionEach engine is directly coupled to adrive shaft which, in turn, rotates animpeller. This impeller rotates within ahousing drawing water in from be-neath the boat. Water is then forced bythe impeller through a venturi. Theventuri pressurizes and acceleratesthe water, producing thrust to movethe boat. Pushing the throttle leversforward increases engine speed andtherefore boat speed.When shift lever is pushed forward,the boat moves forward. Pulled back inthe reverse position, the boat movesbackwards. The middle position is neu-tral and the boat is at the minimumthrust for most conditions. Neutral andreverse are achieved by means ofgates, which are installed on the jetpump venturi housings. These gatesdirect the water flow to obtain the de-sired direction.

TYPICAL

SteeringTurning the steering pivots the jet pumpnozzles which control the boat direc-tion. Turning the steering clockwise willturn the boat to the right and inversely.

TYPICAL — RIGHT-HAND TURN

Above idle speed, the throttles mustbe applied to turn the boat.

� WARNING

When the shifter is in the neutralposition, the impellers are turning.

� WARNING

Shift lever should only be usedwhen the engines are idling andboat is completely stopped.

� WARNING

When an engine is started, the op-erator and passengers should al-ways be sitting in the boat with theshifter lever in neutral position andthrottle levers in idle position.

� WARNING

Throttle must be applied and steer-ing turned to change the direction ofthe boat at speed. Steering efficien-cy will differ depending on the num-ber of passengers, load and waterconditions.

��

68

A jet propelled boat needs some throt-tle applied in order to turn. Practice ina safe area applying the throttle andturning away from an imaginary object.This is a good collision avoidance prac-tice.

Using ReverseThe boat behaves differently when us-ing reverse. The steering response isthe opposite of forward operation.Turning the steering clockwise will turnthe back of the boat to the left and in-versely. Use throttle moderately. Toomuch RPM will create water turbu-lence and reduce reverse efficiency. Atfirst outing, carefully practice this ma-neuver away from anything with whichyou might collide.

Boarding from a Dock As with any boat, boarding should bedone carefully and engines must notbe running.When boarding from a dock, slowlyplace one foot on the boat deck near-est to the dock and then move the oth-er foot inside the boat. Push the boataway from the dock.

TYPICAL

CAUTION: Although the boat re-quires only 30 cm (1 ft) of water tofloat, the engines should be startedwith at least 90 cm (3 ft) of water be-low the hull. If the depth of the wateris less than 90 cm (3 ft), debris canbe drawn from the bottom and dam-age the propulsion system.

TYPICALA. 90 cm (3 ft)

Boarding from the Water

Swim to the rear of the boat.Release the rubber stay on the one-stepladder, pulling ladder out and down intoboarding position. Grip the grab handleand pull yourself up until your knee canreach the swim platform.

��

� WARNING

Inexperienced riders should practicehow to get aboard close to shorefirst before venturing into deepwater.

� WARNING

Engines should not be runningwhile boarding. Never use propul-sion components as a supportingpoint to board the boat.

� WARNING

Never leave ladder in down posi-tion when engines are running orboat is in motion. Always secureladder with rubber stay when notin use.

Cold or Warm EngineCAUTION: To avoid overheating thestarter motor, the cranking periodshould not exceed 5-10 seconds. Arest period of 30 seconds should beobserved between cranking cyclesto let the starter cool down and dis-engage its mechanism.

Leaving the ShoreWith throttle levers at idle, move shifterto the desired direction.Slowly accelerate to reach deeper wa-ter. Do not apply full throttle until theengines are warm.

Rough Water or Poor Visibility OperationAvoid operation in these conditions. Ifyou must do so, proceed with cautionand prudence using minimum speed.Turn on navigation lights if necessary.

Crossing WavesReduce speed when crossing waves.Always be prepared to steer and bal-ance as necessary.When crossing wakes, always keep asafe distance from boat ahead.

Stopping/DockingThe boat is slowed by water drag. Thestopping distance will vary depending onweight, speed, water surface condition,presence and direction of wind and cur-rent.

The operator should become familiar-ized with the stopping distance underdifferent conditions.Reduce throttle speed to idle. Shift to neu-tral, reverse or forward as required whenapproaching a dock then shut off the en-gines just before coming alongside.

BeachingCAUTION: It is not recommended torun the boat onto the beach.Slowly approach the beach and shutoff the engines using the safety lanyardwhen water depth is 90 cm (3 ft) underthe hull, then pull the boat to the beach.Ensure that all accessories are OFF.

POST-OPERATION CARE

General CareOnce boat is on trailer, unscrew thedrain plug, block the wheels and raisethe bow slightly with the trailer jack (ifso equipped) to allow water to drain.Remove any remaining water that isleft in the engine compartment (bilge,engines, etc.) with clean dry rags. Thisis particularly important in salt wateruse.Remove the boat from the water everyday to prevent growth of marine or-ganisms.

Additional Care for Foul Water or Salt WaterWhen the boat is operated in foul wa-ter and particularly in salt water, addi-tional care must be taken to protectthe boat and its components. Rinsetrailer and boat’s hull/bilge area withfresh water.CAUTION: Failure to perform propercare such as: rinsing, cooling systemflushing and anticorrosion treatment,when used in salt water, will result indamage to the boat and its compo-nents. Never leave the boat stored indirect sunlight.

Exhaust Cooling System FlushingGeneralFlushing the exhaust cooling systemswith fresh water is essential to neutral-ize corroding effects of salt or otherchemical products present in water. Itwill help to remove sand, salt, shells orother particles in water jackets and/orhoses.

Flushing should be performed when theboat is not expected to be used furtherthe same day or when the boat is storedfor any extended time.

Proceed as follows:Clean jet pump by spraying water in itsinlet and outlet and then apply a coat-ing of BOMBARDIER LUBE lubricantor equivalent.

Connect a garden hose to connectorlocated at the rear of boat on jet pumpsupport. Do not open water tap yet.NOTE: An optional quick connectadapter can be used (P/N 295 500 473).No hose pincher is required to flush en-gine.

TYPICAL1. Hose adapter2. Quick connect adapter (optional)3. Garden hose

� WARNING

Allow engines to cool before per-forming any maintenance.

� WARNING

Perform this operation in a well ven-tilated area.

� WARNING

When operating the engines whilethe boat is out of the water, theheat exchangers become very hot.Avoid any contact with heat ex-changers as burns may occur.

��


73

FlushingTo flush the exhaust cooling systems,start each engine then immediatelyopen the water tap.

CAUTION: Never flush a hot engine.Always start each engine beforeopening the water tap. Open watertap immediately after each engine isstarted to prevent overheating.Run each engine about 20 seconds ata fast idle between 4000 - 5000 RPM.CAUTION: Never run engines with-out supplying water to the exhaustcooling systems when boat is out ofwater.Ensure water flows out of jet pumpswhile flushing. Otherwise, refer to anauthorized Sea-Doo sport boat dealerfor servicing.

CAUTION: Never run engines longerthan 5 minutes. Drive line seals haveno cooling when the boat is out ofwater.Close the water tap, then stop the en-gine.CAUTION: Always close the water tapbefore stopping the engine.Leave all compartments open to airdry.

Anticorrosion TreatmentTo prevent corrosion, spray a corrosioninhibitor (salt water resistant) such asBOMBARDIER LUBE lubricant or equiv-alent over metallic components in en-gine compartment.NOTE: Engine fogging should be donewith BOMBARDIER LUBE lubricantwhenever the boat is to be stored forfew days or a long period.Apply dielectric grease (salt water re-sistant) on battery posts and cable con-nectors.CAUTION: Never leave rags or toolsin the engine compartment or in thebilge.

� WARNING

Certain components in the enginecompartment may be very hot. Di-rect contact may result in skin burn.Do not touch any electrical parts orjet pump area when engine is run-ning.


74

SPECIAL PROCEDURE

Engine OverheatingCAUTION: If the monitoring beepercontinuously sounds, stop enginesimmediately.Perform the JET PUMP WATER IN-TAKE AND IMPELLER CLEANINGPROCEDURE in this section.Flush exhaust cooling system, refer toPOST-OPERATION CARE.If engines still overheat, refer to an au-thorized Sea-Doo sport boat dealer forservicing.

Inlet Clearance System (ICS)

Weeds, shells or debris can get caughton the intake grates, drive shaftsand/or impellers. A clogged water in-take may cause troubles such as:1. Cavitation: Engine speed is high

but boat moves slowly due to re-duced jet thrust; jet pump compo-nents may be damaged.

2. Overheating: Since jet pump oper-ation controls the flow of water tocoo l each eng ine ’s exhaust ,clogged intakes will cause the en-gines to overheat and damage inter-nal engine components.

The clogged area can be cleaned asfollows:Inlet Clearance System (ICS): Placeshifter in neutral position. Let theboat stop by itself then push the ICSbutton. This will lower the water intakegrates to allow weeds or other debristo escape from grates. Grates will openand retract automatically with a 10-sec-ond delay before returning to theclosed, or up position. It may be neces-sary to repeat the procedure.After releasing ICS button, wait about10 more seconds before movingshifter into either forward or reverse toallow grates to return to the up posi-tion, completing the cycle.CAUTION: Operating the boat withthe water intake grates in lower po-sition will cause damage to the ICS.In severe conditions if the above meth-od does not work, the following can beperformed:– With engines running, put shift le-

ver in reverse position and varythrottles quickly several times.

– Try accelerating again.Most of the time, debris will escapefrom the propulsion system.Out of water cleaning: If the systemis still clogged, shut off the engines byremoving the safety lanyard.

From underneath boat, manually cleaneach water intake area. If the systemis still clogged, refer to an authorizedSea-Doo sport boat dealer for servic-ing.

� WARNING

Keep away from intake grateswhile engines are on. Items suchas long hair, loose clothing or per-sonal flotation device straps canbecome entangled in movingparts resulting in severe injury ordrowning.

� WARNING

Always remove safety lanyard fromDESS post to prevent accidental en-gine starting before cleaning the jetpump area.


75

CAUTION: Avoid operation in weed-ed areas. If unavoidable, vary speed.Weeds tend to entangle more atsteady and slow speeds. Inspect wa-ter intake grates for damage. Referto an authorized Sea-Doo sport boatdealer for repair as necessary.

Capsized BoatThis boat is designed so that it shouldnot turn over easily due to its long andwide dimensions. If the boat ever cap-sizes, remember that it will continue tofloat. It is usually best to remain with itso you will be more easily located byothers.

Submerged Boat/Water-Flooded EngineTo limit damages to the engines, per-form the following procedure as soonas possible.Drain bilge.If it was submerged in salt water, spraybilge and all components with fresh wa-ter using a garden hose to stop the saltcorroding effect.CAUTION: Never try to crank or startthe engines. Water trapped in intakemanifolds would flow towards theengines and may cause severe dam-age to the engines.Bring the boat to be serviced by an au-thorized Sea-Doo sport boat dealer assoon as possible.CAUTION: The longer the delay be-fore you have the engine serviced,the greater the damage will be to theengines. Failure to have the enginesproperly serviced will cause severeengine damage.

Fuel-Flooded EnginesWhen an engine does not start afterseveral attempts, that engine may befuel-flooded. Proceed as follows.Crank engine several times.If it does not work:

Disconnect ignition coil connectors.

CAUTION: Ensure there is no dirt incoil holes before removing the sparkplugs. Otherwise, dirt would fall intocylinder and will damage the internalcomponents.Remove ignition coils.Remove spark plugs.NOTE: After loosening the sparkplugs, a coil may be used to pull thespark plugs out. Simply bring the coildown to spark plug and “hook” it tothen extract spark plug.Install new spark plugs if available or dryspark plugs using a rag.Reinstall spark plugs and ignition coils.Reconnect ignition coil connector.NOTE: After installation, ensure the sealseats properly with the engine top sur-face.Start engine(s) as explained above. Ifengine(s) continue to flood, see an au-thorized Sea-Doo sport boat dealer.CAUTION: Never run an engine with-out supplying water to the exhaustcooling system when boat is out ofwater.

� WARNING

When boat is capsized, do not at-tempt to restart the engines. Oper-ator and passengers should al-ways wear approved personalflotation devices.

� WARNING

When disconnecting coil fromspark plug, always disconnect coilfrom main harness first. Nevercheck for engine ignition sparkfrom an open coil and/or sparkplug in the engine compartmentas spark may cause fuel vapor toignite.


76

Towing the Boat in WaterSpecial precautions should be takenwhen towing a Sea-Doo sport boat inwater.Maximum recommended towing speedis 24 km/h (15 MPH).When towing your boat in water, pinchthe water supply hose on each enginefrom the impeller housing to the ex-haust manifold with a large hosepincher (P/N 529 032 500).

This will prevent the exhaust coolingsystems from filling which may lead towater being injected into and filling theengines. Without the engines runningthere isn’t any exhaust pressure to car-ry the water out the exhaust outlet.CAUTION: Failure to do this may re-sult in damage to the engines. Ifyour Sea-Doo sport boat must betowed in water and you do not havehose pinchers, be sure to stay wellbelow the maximum towing speedof 24 km/h (15 MPH).Snugly install the hose pinchers on thewater supply hoses as shown for eachengine.

TYPICAL1. Hose pincher

CAUTION: When finished towingthe boat, hose pinchers must be re-moved before operation. Failure todo so will result in damage to the en-gines.

Sacrificial Anode SystemCorrosion of metal parts, especiallythose exposed to saltwater, is com-mon for boats. Corrosion can becaused by stray electric currents fromshorepower installations, improperlygrounded A.C. lines and circuits, andpoorly insulated D.C. powered equip-ment from boats moored nearby. Cor-rosion is accelerated when electriccurrent is present.Sacrificial anodes are attached to cer-tain parts of this boat to reduce corro-sion. The anode corrodes, rather thanthe part to which the anode is at-tached.Change each anode when 50% byweight has corroded away.

� WARNING

If bilge blower does not operateproperly, refer to an authorizedSea-Doo sport boat dealer beforestarting the boat.

STORAGE AND PRESEASON PREPARATION

StorageNOTE: Leave drain plug out duringstorage period.It is recommended that the boat betaken to an authorized Sea-Doo sportboat dealer for proper storage but thefollowing operations can be performedby you with a minimum of tools.CAUTION: Do not run the enginesduring the storage period.

Fuel SystemSea-Doo fuel stabilizer (or equivalent),can be added in fuel tank to prevent fueldeterioration and fuel system gum-ming. Follow stabilizer manufacturer’sinstructions for proper use.CAUTION: Fuel stabilizer should beadded before engine lubrication toprotect fuel system componentsagainst varnish deposits.

Engine Oil and Filter ReplacementThe oil change and filter should be per-formed by an authorized Sea-Doo sportboat dealer.

Exhaust Cooling System Flushing and Engine Internal Lubrication

Exhaust Cooling System Flushing

Refer to FLUSHING under POST-OPERATION CARE.CAUTION: Properly follow the in-structions given in the flushing pro-cedure.

Engine Internal Lubrication

Open the engine compartment lid.Remove storage tray.NOTE: Perform for each engine.Remove dipstick.Remove fuel rail cover.Reinstall dipstick.

� WARNING

Because fuel and oil are flamma-ble, have an authorized Sea-Doosport boat dealer inspect the fueland oil systems integrity as speci-fied in the PERIODIC INSPECTIONCHART.

� WARNING

Always stop the engines before re-fueling. Fuel is flammable and ex-plosive under certain conditions.Always work in a well ventilatedarea. Do not smoke or allow openflames or sparks in the vicinity.Fuel tank may be pressurized.Slowly turn cap when opening.Never use an open flame to checkfuel level. When fueling, keep boatlevel. Do not overfill or top off thefuel tank and leave boat in the sun.As temperature increases, fuel ex-pands and might overflow. Alwayswipe off any fuel spillage from theboat. Periodically verify fuel sys-tem.


88

Disconnect ignition coil connectors.

IMPORTANT: Never cut the locking tiesof ignition coil connectors. This would al-low mixing the wires between cylinders.CAUTION: Ensure there is no dirt incoil holes before removing the sparkplugs. Otherwise, dirt would fall intocylinder and will damage the internalcomponents.Remove ignition coils.Remove spark plugs.NOTE: After loosening the sparkplugs, a coil may be used to removethe spark plugs. Simply bring the coildown to spark plug and “hook” it tothen extract spark plug.Spray BOMBARDIER LUBE lubricantor equivalent, into spark plug holes. To prevent fuel injection and also cutthe ignition at the engine cranking, pro-ceed as follows.From the engine compartment, have asecond person hold throttle bell crankin fully opened position.

1. Fully-opened position

Crank each engine a few turns to dis-tribute the oil on cylinder wall.Apply anti-seize lubricant on spark plugthreads then reinstall them.NOTE: After installation, ensure theseal seats properly with the engine topsurface.Reinstall ignition coils. Reconnect igni-tion coil connectors.To reinstall fuel rail cover, remove dip-stick, push fuel rail cover downwarduntil it snaps.Reinstall dipstick.NOTE: It is recommended to fog theengine valves with BOMBARDIERLUBE lubricant. Contact your autho-rized Sea-Doo sport boat dealer.

BatteryContact your authorized Sea-Doo sportboat dealer.

Engine Cooling SystemAntifreeze of each engine should bereplaced for the storage period to pre-vent antifreeze deterioration.A density test and/or antifreeze replace-ment should be performed by an autho-rized Sea-Doo sport boat dealer.CAUTION: Improper antifreeze mix-ture might allow freezing of the liq-uid in the cooling system if boat isstored in area where freezing point isreached. This would seriously dam-age the engine. Failure to replace theantifreeze for storage may allow itsdegradation that could result in poorcooling when engine will be used.

� WARNING

When disconnecting coil from sparkplug, always disconnect coil frommain harness first. Never check forengine ignition spark from an opencoil and/or spark plug in the enginecompartment as spark may causefuel vapor to ignite.
