Stopping boat

EWM01510
WARNING
Do not use the reverse function to slow
G
down or stop the boat as it could cause
you to lose control, be ejected, or impact
the steering wheel or other parts of the
boat. This could increase the risk of se-
rious injury. It could also damage the
shift mechanism.
Do not shift into reverse while traveling
G
at planing speeds. Loss of control, boat
swamping, or damage to the boat could
occur.
The boat is not equipped with a separate
braking system. Water resistance stops it af-
ter the throttle lever is moved back to idle. The
stopping distance varies depending on gross
weight, water surface conditions, and wind di-
rection.
