Starter will not operate

If the starter mechanism does not operate
(the engine cannot be cranked with the start-
er), the engine can be started manually with
an emergency starter rope. However, the en-
gine cannot be started manually if the battery
voltage is low. If the battery is discharged to
9 volts or below, the electric fuel pump will
not operate.

WARNING
 Use this procedure only in an emergen-
cy to return to the nearest port for re-
pairs.
 When the emergency starter rope is
used to start the engine, the start-in-
gear protection device does not oper-
ate. Make sure the remote control lever
is in neutral. Otherwise the boat could
unexpectedly start to move, which could
result in an accident.
 Attach the engine shut-off cord to a se-
cure place on your clothing, or your arm
or leg while operating the boat.
 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
be thrown forward.
 Make sure no one is standing behind
you when pulling the starter rope. It
could whip behind you and injure some-
one.

 An unguarded, rotating flywheel is very
dangerous. Keep loose clothing and
other objects away when starting the
engine. Use the emergency starter rope
only as instructed. Do not touch the fly-
wheel or other moving parts when the
engine is running. Do not install the
starter mechanism or top cowling after
the engine is running.
 Do not touch the ignition coil, spark plug
wire, spark plug cap, or other electrical
components when starting or operating
the motor. You could get an electrical
shock.
