Why Replace the IBR Boot?

The IBR boot is put through its paces on every outing: permanent immersion, salt, UV, and repeated mechanical stresses. Here are the signs that it's time to replace it:

• Cracked, torn, or deformed boot
• Water infiltration into the IBR housing
• IBR error code displayed on the dashboard
• Irregular braking or reverse
• Abnormal noise when activating the IBR

Installation

Replacement is accessible with basic tools. No advanced mechanical skills are required:

1. Cut power and secure the personal watercraft out of the water
2. Remove the used IBR boot by removing the clamps or fasteners
3. Clean and inspect the IBR housing before installation
4. Position the new boot 268000186 and secure the clamps
5. Check for watertightness before returning to the water

Tip: Take advantage of the replacement to inspect the entire IBR system (wiring, actuator, propulsion grate) and rinse with fresh water after each saltwater outing.
