EJU41821Replacing the bilge pump fuse
If the fuse is blown, replace it with the proper
fuse.
To replace the fuse:
(1) Remove the seats and engine cover.
(See page 40 for seat removal and instal-
lation procedures and page 82 for engine
cover removal and installation proce-
dures.)
(2) Remove the plastic ties that are securing
the corrugated tube and bilge pump fuse
leads.
TIP:
Be careful not to drop the plastic ties into the
engine compartment.
(3) Pull out the bilge pump fuse holder from
the rubber cover, and then remove the
fuse cover.
(4) Replace the blown fuse with the spare
fuse of the correct amperage.
WARNING! Do not use fuses of a dif-
ferent amperage than recommended.
Substitution with a fuse that has an
improper rating can cause extensive
electrical system damage and possi-
ble fire.

EJU34715Towing the watercraft
WARNING
EWJ00811

The operator of the towing boat must
keep speed to a minimum and avoid traf-
fic or obstacles which could be a hazard
to the operator on the watercraft.

The towline should be long enough so
that the watercraft will not collide with
the towing boat when slowing down.
If the watercraft becomes inoperative in the
water, it can be towed to shore.
To tow the watercraft:
Use a towline that is three times the combined
length of the towing boat and the watercraft.
(1) Securely attach the towline to the bow
eye of the watercraft being towed.
(2) Sit astride the seat and hold on to the
handlebars in order to balance the water-
craft. NOTICE: The bow must be kept
up out of the water during towing, oth-
erwise water could flood the engine
compartment or water could flow back
into the engine, causing severe en-
gine damage.
