Before Use

Tube pressure will fluctuate with temperature. Inflate tubes in sequence to 250 mB/3.6 psi.
Failure to observe this will compromise the sea-keeping ability and watertight integrity of the
boat. Inflation valves are fitted with quarter-turn locks to enable rapid deflation.
CAUTION.
Tubes must be inflated in the correct sequence to prevent
over-inflation.
Set valves to shut and inflate tubes evenly, starting at rear/right, rear/left, then forward valves.
Check bilge for fuel or water contamination.
Tighten footwell drain plugs.
Ensure towing valve is set in open position.
Check engine cover latches are secure.
Power Limit Switch
The power limit switch is located within the engine bay, on starboard side face. To operate boat
in low power mode, turn key to low power section of key plate. For full power mode, turn key
into full power section. In both positions the key can be removed.
