8. Visually inspect for any loose mounting fasteners.
9. Verify the emergency stop switch located by the throttle is fully
functional and the lanyard is not frayed or damaged. Clip the
safety lanyard securely to your body. Keep it attached at all times
while you are driving.
10. Check that engine cooling water valve is open and raw water
strainer is clean.
• Once the boat is in the water, visually check for water leaking
at the stuffing box. This stuffing box must drip a moderate
amount of water to properly lubricate the drive shaft. If the
water is coming in rapidly, pull the boat out of the water and
have your Correct Craft Dealer adjust the stuffing box. There
is a detailed instruction for this in the boat care section. This
stuffing box has right-hand threads.
