Starter will not operate (F115, LF115,
F115A1, FL115A1)
If the starter mechanism does not operate
(the engine cannot be cranked with the start-
er), the engine can be started manually with
an emergency starter rope. However, the en-
ZMU06223
gine cannot be started manually if the battery
voltage is low. If the battery is discharged to 9
volts or below, the electric fuel pump will not
operate.

WARNING
Use this procedure only in an emergen-
G
cy to return to the nearest port for re-
pairs.
When the emergency starter rope is
G
used to start the engine, the start-in-
gear protection device does not operate.
Make sure the remote control lever /
ZMU07492
gear shift lever is in neutral. Otherwise
the boat could unexpectedly start to
move, which could result in an accident.
Attach the engine shut-off cord to a se-
G
cure place on your clothing, or your arm
or leg while operating the boat.
Do not attach the cord to clothing that
G
could tear loose. Do not route the cord
where it could become entangled, pre-
venting it from functioning.
Avoid accidentally pulling the cord dur-
G
ing normal operation. Loss of engine
power means the loss of most steering
control. Also, without engine power, the
boat could slow rapidly. This could
cause people and objects in the boat to
be thrown forward.
