Stopping boat

EWM02321
WARNING
Do not use the reverse function to slow
down or stop the boat as it could cause
you to lose control, be ejected, or impact
the load or other parts of the boat. This
could increase the risk of serious injury. It
could also damage the shift mechanism.
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 wind di-
rection.
