Bilge Pumps
Check your bilge pumps often to make sure they are operating
efficiently. There are two bilge pumps: one is at the rear of the boat
near the rudder and under the floor by the forward bulkhead
located next to the fuel tank. Keep the pumps from getting
clogged, remove any debris you find in the bilge. Wash the bilge
with a good biodegradable household detergent or a bilge cleaner
available at your Correct Craft dealer or a marine supply store.
Rinse with water with your bilge pumps running. If your pumps
seems to lag, remove the top of the pump from the base and check
the impeller to make sure there is no debris inside. See your dealer
if there is still a problem with the pumps.

2. Wedge a piece of 1" x 4" wood between the propeller blade and
the starboard side of the strut and rudder.

Section 8
• A propeller can be very sharp. Be careful when you
handle it. Wear a pair of protective gloves when
handling any propeller.
• Remove your key from the ignition and remove the
Emergency Stop Switch clip from the switch to
prevent accidental starting of the engine.
• DO NOT reuse the nylon locknut or the cotter pin.
• DO NOT use a damaged propeller. A damaged
propeller can damage your engine and boat.
