Yamaha EXCITER Owner's/operator's Manual - Trailering
NOTE:
_________________
This boat is equipped with an electric
bilge pump that automatically removes
excess water from the bilge while you
are underway. However, some residual
water remains that must be drained by
removing the drain plug.
___________
Tighten the hull drain plugs secure-
ly before launching the Jet Boat.
Clean any foreign material, such as
dirt or sand, from the threads before
installing the drain plugs.
5) Spray a rust inhibitor, such as
Yamaha Silicone Protectant and
Lubricant, on metallic parts to mini-
mize corrosion.
TRAILERING
________________
Avoid accident and injury from
improper trailering:
●
The trailer must be matched for
the Jet Boat’s weight and hull.
●
The towing vehicle must have the
capacity of pulling the load.
Pulling a load that exceeds the
vehicles’s towing capacity may
cause loss of control.
●
Be sure the boat is secured to the
trailer and the trailer is properly
hitched to the towing vehicle
before towing.
●
Always place the fuel cock in the
"OFF” position when transport-
ing or storing the Jet Boat.
Otherwise, fuel could leak out
into the engine or engine com-
partment, which could create a
fire or explosion hazard.
Select a trailer that is manufactured to
carry a boat of the size and weight of
your Jet Boat. Check the certification
label on the left forward side of the trail-
er. This label is required to show the
Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR),
which is the load carrying capacity of
the trailer plus the trailer’s weight. Be
sure that the total weight of your boat,
any cargo, and the trailer weight itself
does not exceed the GVWR.
