Why it was recalled
The water rail connectors fitting may fail, resulting in water leaks. If the water rail connectors fail, a significant amount of water could be discharged into the boat and this could disable the engine.
Hazard
If the engine is disabled, it is possible that the boat could become stranded. This could increase the risk of accident or injury.
