To answer your first question, the stream of water that comes out near the tow hook is actually some of the water that is cooling the engine. If you feel it, that water is warm. It is very important that water actually comes out of here when the engone is running. If not, stop the boat right away as you could overheat or a line is disconnected.
To answer your second question, you don not have to add storage oil to the carbs till it stalls. Just until you notice a difference in the idle and it gets considerably lower. I usually do not spray constantly, but rather spray a few seconds, then pause, few more seconds, pause. You get the point. All the oil does, is make sure corrosion does not occur and there is no break down of fuel or anything when storing it for a long time. It is good to add some fuel stailizer to the tank too if there is any gas left in the tank.
Hope this helps.

I agree with Tiddy, more is not always better! With respect to the fuel stabilizer if you use 10% ethanol blend use enzyme based fuel stabilizer, we recommend all year but definately during the winter layup. Also keep your tank full as much as possible to prevent condensation and phase separation of the fuel.

Well that's a relief about the water line, thanks very much, I couldn't find that in the manual. I'll remember that for the engine fogging as well.

As for the cleaning, a good 3m oxidation remover works well with removing spots on the fiberglass.
You can use the mildew removers, you should choose one for marine applications if possible. Either way, be sure to rinse thoroughly after cleaning. You will also want to get some 303 Aerospace Protectant to apply after any cleaning.
I have also found that Simple Green ,Magic Eraser, EpHX Vinyl Cleaner for Boat Seating, and also Knights Marine Spray Nine works well for cleaning the seats.
I can't stress enough about applying the 303. This will protect your vinyl. Do not use any Armour All, ever.

Go tour website at www.boatsva.com and look in the tackily named "Ask Mr. Jetboat" section. We have reprinted the recommended cleaning methods directly from the tecnical update manual. One thing is for sure, stay away from chlorine based products on the upholstery as it will degrade the fabric.
