After Submerging

Detailed Procedures after Submerging

1. Remove the seat (see Hull/Engine Hood chapter).
2. Remove the drain screws in the stern to drain water

out of the engine compartment.

3. Remove the front storage pocket (see Hull/Engine

Hood chapter).

4. Disconnect both two connectors [A] on the primary

ignition leads located near the ignition coil.

5. Pull and remove all the spark plug caps.
6. Remove all spark plugs. (see Spark Plug Cleaning

and Inspection in Periodic Maintenance chapter)

7. Turn the ignition switch on, push the lanyard key un-

der the stop button, and push the start button.

8. If there is any water in the engine, it will be pumped

out of the spark plug holes [A]. Do not operate the
starter for longer than 5 seconds. Wait 15 seconds
before using it again. Be sure that all the water is out
of the engine.

WARNING

Do not lean over the engine when performing this
procedure. A water and gasoline mixture will be
forcibly ejected from the spark plug holes and could
get into your eyes. If you do get some in your eyes,
wash your eyes immediately with liberal amounts of
clean, fresh water. Consult a physician as soon as
possible.

9. Remove the rear storage pocket, and check the air

filter [A] for water inside with its drain caps [B].

10. If you see water in the caps, remove both caps and

discharge the water. Be sure to have a rag or cloth
underneath for possible oily water. And proceed to
the next procedure (No.11).

NOTE

○

If you see water in the caps, there is a great possibility
that water has entered the inlet manifold. If there is no
water in the caps, then proceed to No.12.

11. Remove the drain plug [A] of the inlet manifold [B] and

discharge water, if any, into a rag or cloth. (If you do
not see water in the caps for the air filter mentioned
above, omit this procedure and proceed to the next
procedure, No.12).

12. Spray the spark plugs clean and install them with their

plug caps.
