1. Flush the engine cooling system (page
193). After flushing, disconnect the garden
hose.
2. Remove the bilge drain plugs to drain any
water. Raise the bow (front) of your PWC
about 1 foot (30 cm) to allow complete
draining.
3. To prevent rusting the inlet valves, proceed
as follows after confirming the engine is
cool.
• Remove both seats (page 158).
• Remove the maintenance port cap.
• Start the engine at idle speed (without
pulling the throttle lever) and spray a
water-displacement corrosion-proof
lubricant (without Teflon or molybdenum
additives, such as CRC 6-56 or an
equivalent) into maintenance port for 20
seconds. Refer to the illustration of page
180.
