Capsized Watercraft
The watercraft is designed so that it
should not turn over easily. Also two
sponsons mounted on the side of the

over, it will remain capsized.

cated on stern of watercraft.
To return the watercraft upright, en-
sure the engine is off, grab the inlet
grate, step on bumper rail and use your
weight to rotate the watercraft.
