Boat control functions

Engine shut-off switch

WARNING
Always attach the engine shut-off cord
●
(lanyard) to your PFD before starting the
engines. Failure to attach the cord could
result in a runaway boat if the operator is
ejected.
Do not attach the cord to clothing that
●
could tear loose. Do not route the cord in
such a way that it could become entan-
gled, preventing it from functioning.
Avoid accidentally pulling the cord dur-
●
ing normal operation. Once the engines
have stopped, you have no steering con-
trol of the boat which could result in an
accident. Also, without engine power,
the boat could slow rapidly from planing
speed. This could cause people and ob-
jects in the boat to be thrown forward,
which could cause injury.
The clip on the end of the engine shut-off cord
(lanyard) must be attached to the engine shut-
off switch for the engines to run. The cord
must be attached to a secure place on the op-
erator's PFD. Should the operator fall over-
board or leave the helm, the cord will pull out
the clip, stopping ignition to both engines. This
will prevent the boat from running away under
power.

Battery switch

The battery switch is located in the rear under-
seat storage compartment (port).
Turn the battery switch to the OFF (red) posi-
tion when the boat will not be used again right
away. Turning the switch to the OFF (red) po-
sition will prevent the battery from being
drained if another electrical switch is acciden-
tally left in the on position. NOTICE: Do not
turn the battery switch to the OFF (red) po-
sition if the boat is moored in the water as
it will prevent the bilge pump and stern
light from functioning.
