3. Cruising
FORWARD
With the gearshift lever in the forward
position F, turn the throttle grip
toward FAST to increase speed. For
normal cruising, open the throttle
about 314.
To hold the throttle at a steady setting,
turn the throttle friction knob
clockwise. To free the throttle grip for
manual speed control, turn the friction
knob counterclockwise.
For best performance, passengers
and equipment should be distributed
evenly to balance the boat.
