Operation
If the choke knob is left in the "
G
(start) position while the engine is running,
the engine will run poorly or stall.
5. Push the starter button to start the mo-
tor. (Repeat if necessary.)
6. Immediately after the engine starts, re-
lease the starter button to allow it to re-
turn to its original position.
7. Slowly return the throttle grip to the fully
closed position so that the engine does
not stall. NOTICE: Never push the
starter button while the engine is run-
ning. Do not keep the starter motor
turning for more than 5 seconds. If
the starter motor is turned continu-
ously for more than 5 seconds, the
battery will be quickly discharged,
thus making it impossible to start the
engine. The starter can also be dam-
aged. If the engine will not start after
5 seconds of cranking, release the
starter button, wait 10 seconds, then
crank the engine again.

When the engine is cold, it needs to be
warmed up. For further information, see
page 44.
If the engine does not start on the first try,
repeat the procedure. If the engine fails to
start after 4 or 5 tries, open the throttle a
small amount (between 1/8 and 1/4) and
try again. Also if the engine is warm and
fails to start, open the throttle a same
amount and try to start the engine again. If
the engine still fails to start, see page 72.
WARNING
Failure to attached engine shut-off cord
could result in a runaway boat if opera-
tor is ejected. Attach the engine shut-
off cord to a secure place on your cloth-
ing, or your arm or leg while operating.
Do not attach the cord to clothing that
could tear loose. Do not route the cord
where it could become entangled, pre-
venting it from functioning.
Avoid accidentally pulling the cord dur-
ing normal operation. Loss of engine
power means the loss of most steering
control. Also, without engine power,
the boat could slow rapidly. This could
cause people and objects in the boat to
