Stopping boat

EWM01511
Do not use the reverse function to slow

down or stop the boat as it could cause
you to lose control, be ejected, or im-
pact the steering wheel or other parts of
the boat. This could increase the risk of
serious injury. It could also damage the
shift mechanism.
Do not shift into reverse while traveling

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
55
wind direction.
