SLIDE DRAIN VALVE OPERATION
When underway, slide the drain to the open position and the

entering the boat. After the water has been drained, slide the
drain to the closed position.

Outboard Power

Choose an outboard that is within the horsepower range and
maximum weight limit for the boat. Refer to the specification
table in this manual or the manufacturer's plate on the boat for
the maximum outboard horsepower and outboard weight.
Install the outboard along the centerline of the boat transom.
Fasten the outboard to the transom following the recommended
installation instructions provided with the outboard or from the
outboard manufacturer.
Verify that the outboard is tightly secured on the transom before
each use.
