Stopping the boat

WARNING
Allow adequate stopping distance.

 Take early action to avoid collisions. Re-
member, boats do not have brakes.
Operate defensively at safe speeds and

keep a safe distance away from people,
objects, and other boats to give you time
to stop.
Do not shut the engines off when slow-

ing down in case you need engine power
to steer away from a boat or other ob-
stacle that comes into your path.
 You will lose steering control if you com-
pletely pull the remote control levers
back to idle. You need throttle to steer.
Do not use the reverse function to slow

down or stop the boat from planing
speed as it could cause you to lose con-
trol, be ejected, or impact the steering
wheel or other parts of the boat. This
could increase the risk of serious injury.

The boat is not equipped with a separate
braking system. It is stopped by water resis-
tance after the remote control levers are
moved back to idle. From full speed, the boat
stops in approximately 105 m (344 ft) for the
AR210 / SX210 or 140 m (459 ft) for the
212X / 212S / 212 after the remote control le-
vers are moved back to idle. The stopping
distance varies depending on gross weight,
water surface conditions, and wind direction.
The stated straight-line stopping distance
should be used for a reference. The boat
slows down as soon as the remote control le-
vers are returned to idle but will coast for a
distance before fully stopping. If you are not
sure you can stop in time before hitting an
obstacle, apply throttle and turn in another di-
rection.
