Boating Tips

During the fi rst run, we recommend calm wind and water
conditions to ensure that the boat is properly set up. Maxi-
mum speeds of 75 MPH/+ can be achieved once you have
set up the boat for your specifi c conditions.
Consult local laws and ordinances before choosing a location
to pilot your boat.
1. Carefully place the boat in the water.
2. Operate the boat at slow speeds near the shoreline. Avoid
objects in the water at all times. When the boat is moving
forward, ensure water fl ows out of the coolant outlet.
3. Once you are comfortable operating the boat at slow
speeds, it is safe to operate the boat farther from the
shore at higher speeds.
4. When making turns, decrease the throttle to reduce the

NOTCIE: We recommend appying marine tape
(DYNM0102) around the canopy to prevent water from
entering the hull.
NOTICE: We recommend spaying automotive wax in the
location where tape may be used to prevent the tape
from damaging the fi nish of the hull. Tape may pull the

CAUTION: Never attempt to retrieve a downed boat
by swimming. If you need to retrieve your boat from
the water, use fi shing equipment or another boat.
NOTICE: Never operate your boat in less than 12 inches
(30.5 cm) of water.
NOTICE: When running at full speed in choppy water, the
propeller may exit and re-enter the water repeatedly and
very quickly, subjecting the propeller and drive shaft to
some stress. Frequent stress may damage the propeller
and drive shaft.
