Watercraft Cleaning
Clean the bilge with hot water and mild detergent
or with bilge cleaner. Rinse thoroughly. Lift front
end of watercraft to completely drain bilge. If any
repairs are needed to body or to the hull, touch up
paint and GelcoteĀ® repair kit are available. Refer
to SERVICE TOOLS AND PRODUCTS 01-02. Re-
place damaged labels / decals.
Wash the body with soap and water solution (only
use mild detergent). Rinse thoroughly with fresh
water. Remove marine organisms from the hull.
Apply a nonabrasive wax.
CAUTION : Never clean apparent fiberglass
and plastic parts with strong detergent,
degreasing agent, paint thinner, acetone, etc.
If the watercraft is to be stored outside, cover it
with an opaque tarpaulin to prevent sun rays and
grime from affecting the plastic components, wa-
tercraft finish as well as preventing dust accumu-
lation.
CAUTION : The watercraft must never be
Ieft in water for storage. Never leave the
watercraft stored in direct sunlight.
Anticorrosion Treatment
Wipe off any residual water in the engine com-
partment.
Spray BOMBARDIER LUBE lubricant over all me-
tallic components in engine compartment.
Lubricate the throttle cable with BOMBARDIER
LUBE lubricant.
The seat should be partially left opened during
storage (the hood for the HX). This will avoid en-
gine compartment condensation and possible cor-
rosion.
NOTE : If the watercraft is stored outside
with seat (or the hood for the HX) partially
opened and without a tarpaulin, unscrew the rear
drain plug in order to avoid water build up in the
bilge during rainfall. Tilt the watercraft to the rear
so that water can flow out.
Additional Recommended Protection
In cool regions (where freezing point temperature
may be encountered), cooling system should be
filled with water and antifreeze solution.
CAUTION : Always use ethylene-glycol
anti-freeze containing corrosion inhibitors
specifically recommended for aluminum en-
gines.
NOTE : The engine will not have to run dur-
ing this operation.
