(4) Attach the engine shut-off cord (lanyard)
to your PFD. Install the cord clip onto the
engine shut-off switch by pushing the clip
groove over the nut beneath the knob. Be
sure the cord is not wrapped around the
steering wheel or tangled in the controls.
WARNING! Check that the engine
shut-off cord (lanyard) is attached cor-
rectly. If the engine shut-off cord (lan-
yard) is not attached correctly, it may
not pull free when the operator falls
off, allowing the boat to continue to
run and cause an accident.

TIP:
The engines will not start when the clip is re-
moved from the engine shut-off switch. The
starter motors will turn over without the cord
attached.
(5) Put the remote control levers in the neu-
tral position. The starter motors will not
operate unless the remote control levers
are in neutral. Turn the main switch keys
to the start position and release them
when the engines start. If the engines do
not start after 5 seconds of cranking, re-
lease the keys. Wait at least 15 seconds
before trying to start the engines again.
NOTICE
Never turn the main switch keys to the
●
start position while the engines are run-
ning. The starter mechanisms could be
damaged.
If the starter motors are engaged contin-
●
uously for more than 5 seconds, the bat-
tery will become quickly discharged and
it will be impossible to start the engines.
The starter motors may also be dam-
aged if they are engaged continuously
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
