periodically check the streams for a steady flow of water. If water does not flow, shut off the engine as this could indicate a problem with your cooling system, which will cause engine damage if left ignored. Be especially watchful during navigation of shallow waters as the intake ports can easily become clogged with weeds, dirt, or other debris. -
Page 14: Engine Instrumentation
While running under normal conditions, the bow should be in a 3º to 5º upwards angle to maximize the hull’s ride and performance. When sea conditions are rougher than normal, using engine trim to bring the bow slightly down will help to improve boat ride, and plane at lower speeds. -

Page 19: 5/ Electrical Systems
5/ Electrical Systems GENERAL Your boat operates on a 12-volt DC system, similar to those found on cars. However, your boat uses AGM deep-cycle marine batteries, which differ from the lead-acid type batteries, found in cars. These high-performance batteries can handle the additional electrical load and environmental stress required to operate in a marine environment. -

tilted out of the water, others need the engine to act as a rudder to be able to maintain a straight line. Start with the engine tilted. If that does not work well, lower the engine until it is about perpendicular. It is important to note that many boats, and almost all-personal watercraft cannot be towed above idle speed, or severe engine damage will result. -
