Vessel Operation
TO AVOID ENGINE DAMAGE!
CHECK THE OIL GAUGE IMMEDIATELY AFTER
STARTING ENGINE. IF LOW OR NO READING SHUT DOWN
ENGINE IMMEDIATELY AND INVESTIGATE THE PROBLEM.
Shi ing Guidelines
Before shifting into reverse or forward gear
positions make sure the coast is clear. When
shi ing to either gear from neutral make sure the
throttle is in the idle position. Always allow your
vessel to lose all headway before shi ing into
reverse or forward gear. Practice shi ing! You
will become more familiar with the procedure
and self-con dence will build especially in tight
docking situations. Stay alert at all times!
