OPERATION
• When cruising at full throttle, note
that the engine speed must be in the
range BF40D: between
-1
5,000 min (rpm)
-1
and 6,000 min (rpm), BF50D:
-1
between 5,500 min (rpm) and
-1
6,000 min (rpm).
• If you feel that the engine speed
jumped up when the hull jumped or
at ventilation, cruise the boat by
returning the throttle to the slow
speed side.
• See ''Propeller Selection'' (page
49) for a relation between the
propeller and the engine speed.
Do not operate without the engine
cover. Exposed moving parts could
cause injury; water may damage
the engine.
For best performance, passengers and
equipment should be distributed
evenly to balance the boat.
