Pre-operation checks
137
Battery check
Make sure that the battery terminals are not
damaged and that the battery leads are con-
nected properly. (See pages 165 and 166 for
battery cover removal and installation proce-
dures.) WARNING! The battery must al-
ways be fully charged and in good
condition. Loss of battery power may
leave you stranded. Never operate the
boat if the battery does not have sufficient
power to start the engines or if it shows
any other signs of decreased power.

Bilge water check
Make sure that no bilge water has collected in
the engine compartment and the fuel tank
compartment. If bilge water has collected in
the engine compartment and the fuel tank
compartment, drain it. (See page 125 for in-
formation on draining the bilge water.)
Drain plug check
Loosen the drain plugs and remove them,
and then make sure that the plugs and the
O-ring on the hull drain plug are not damaged
and that there is no foreign material on the
threads or the O-ring on the hull drain plug.
NOTICE: Before installing the drain plugs,
clean the drain plug threads and the O-
ring on the hull drain plug to remove any
foreign materials, such as dirt or sand.
Otherwise, the drain plugs could be dam-
aged, allowing water to enter the engine
compartment or the fuel tank compart-
ment. Make sure that the drain plugs are
tightened securely before launching the
boat. Otherwise, water may flood the boat
and cause it to submerge.
Securely install the drain plugs by tightening
them until they stop.
