Submerged watercraft
If the watercraft is submerged or flooded
with water, follow the procedure below and
consult a Yamaha dealer as soon as possi-
ble. Failure to do so may result in serious
engine damage!
1. Beach the watercraft and remove the
stern drain plugs to drain the water from
the engine compartment.
2. Turn the fuel cock knob to “OFF.”
3. Remove the spark plugs and dry them
with a cloth.
4. Without reinstalling the spark plugs,
crank the engine until all the water in the
cylinders has been drained.
5. Install the stern drain plugs and the
spark plugs.
6. Turn the fuel cock to “ON.”
7. Launch the watercraft into the water, and
then run the engine for at least 10 min-
utes. If the engine will not start, repeat
steps above.
8. Turn the engine off. Turn the fuel cock to
“OFF.”
9. Remove the silencer cap and spray a
rust inhibitor into the carburetor while
cranking the engine.
10. Have the watercraft inspected by a
Yamaha dealer as soon as possible.
