GENERAL INFORMATION 67 j Drain Screws There are two drain screws in the stern to drain water accumulated in the engine compartment. Open them only when the craft is out of the water. Reboarding Step The watercraft is equipped with a folding type reboarding step at the stern. When going back aboard from the rear of the craft, pull the step down. It is raised back to the original position by spring tension when released. You can reboard more easily from the water by using this step and the handrail behind the rear end of the seat (see the Safe Operation and Launching sections in the OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS chapter). Also, this step is designed only for reboarding from deep water, so it should not be used for pulling other crafts. NOTICE If the screws come loose the craft may flood or become swamped, with the possibility of sinking or severe engine damage. To prevent swamping, be sure the screws are securely tightened before launching. WARNING The reboarding step is adjacent to the jet pump nozzle, and water and/or debris ejected from the jet thrust nozzle can cause severe injury. To avoid injury, do not drag anyone through the water while they are holding onto the reboarding step. A. Drain Screws
