Leaving the Shore
With throttle levers at idle, move shifter

ter. Do not apply full throttle until the
engines are warm.

Rough Water or Poor
Visibility Operation
Avoid operation in these conditions. If
you must do so, proceed with caution
and prudence using minimum speed.
Turn on navigation lights if necessary.

Crossing Waves

Reduce speed when crossing waves.
Always be prepared to steer and bal-
ance as necessary.
When crossing wakes, always keep a
safe distance from boat ahead.
WARNING
When crossing wakes, slow down.
Operator and passenger(s) can
brace themselves by posting. Do
not jump waves or wakes.

Stopping/Docking

The sport boat is slowed by water drag.
The stopping distance will vary depend-
ing on weight, speed, water surface con-
dition, presence and direction of wind
and current.
The operator should become familiar-
ized with the stopping distance under
different conditions.
Reduce throttle speed to idle. Shift to neu-
tral, reverse or forward as required when
approaching a dock then shut off the en-
gines just before coming alongside.
WARNING
Directional control is reduced when
throttle is decreased and lost
when engines are off.

Beaching

CAUTION: It is not recommended to
run the sport boat onto the beach.
Slowly approach the beach and shut
off the engines using the safety lanyard
when water depth is 90 cm (3 ft) under
the hull, then pull the boat to the beach.
Ensure that all accessories are OFF.
