Seat (see Hull/Engine Hood chapter)
Rear Storage Pocket

Pull the hoses [A] off the breather.

Unscrew the mounting bolts [B], and remove the
breathers [C].
Breather Installation
•
Be sure the small hole [A] in the breather is open before
installing it.
•
Apply a non-permanent locking agent to the breather
mounting bolts and tighten them.
Breather Cleaning and Inspection
•
Check that the small hole in the top of the breather is open
by blowing in one end of the breather and plugging the
other.
If the hole is plugged, clean it with compressed air. Do
not open it with a pointed object (like a needle or a piece
of wire), because the hole may be enlarged. If the hole is
too large, the bilge system may not suck water out of the
hull as it should.

[A].
•
Remove the engine (see Engine Removal/Installation
chapter).
