SOLUTION

NOTE: * When ordering quantity 1 of this part number, dealer will receive 2m. If the boat has been stored outside, the intake manifold must be removed from the engine and any water in it must be removed. Remove only those components necessary to allow rotation of intake manifold to empty water from manifold. Refer to Shop Manual 219 100 172, section 04–03. If there is water in the intake hose or intake manifold, the engine cylinders must also be checked for water. Refer to section 02–04 for drowned engine procedure. Once all water has been removed from the engine and intake manifold, reinstall the intake manifold and install new hose.

NOTE: The engine oil will not need to be changed. However, the engine should be started and brought up to operating temperature with the boat in the water as soon as possible. Use the same technique as in the inspection procedure to ensure the new hose does not contact the dart or the fuel tank. Claim flat rate time for both inspection and repair. 2 / 3 2004-7 Warranty
