NOTICE
 Never turn the main switch keys to the
start position while the engines are run-
ning. The starter mechanism could be
damaged.
If the starter motors are engaged con-

tinuously for more than 5 seconds, the
battery will become quickly discharged
and it will be impossible to start the en-
gines. The starter motors may also be
damaged if they are engaged continu-
ously for more than 5 seconds.
On this boat, the engines are connected di-
rectly to the drive units. Starting either engine
generates some thrust immediately. Only
enough throttle should be applied to keep the
engine at a fast enough idle to stay running.

Stopping the engines

WARNING
Once the engines has stopped, you have
NO STEERING CONTROL over the boat.
You could collide with another boat, a
dock, or other obstacle.
Stopping the engines immediately after oper-
ating at high engine speeds is not recom-
mended. Let the engines cool off at idle or
low speed for a few minutes first.
