Before Engine Shutdown
Plan where the boat will be stopped, reduce speed to
approach the area (dock, anchorage, etc.). Maneuver
the boat to the dock or other safe place, position the
boat so that it can be secured or anchored. When in
position, move the shift mechanism to neutral. Secure
the boat, if possible the captain should remain at the
helm while the passengers secure the boat.
WARNING!
Avoid abrupt changes in speed or direction when
maneuvering towards a dock or slip.
Passengers could be injured if thrown about in the boat
due to sudden changes in boat movement.
Allow the engine to run at low idle, in neutral, for a few
minutes after operations are completed.
This allows engine temperatures to equalize. This is
especially important when the engine has been run at
high rpm or under heavy load just prior to shutdown.
Turn the key switch to the off position O.
Stop the Engine
Allow the engine to run at low idle, in neutral, for a few
minutes after operations are completed. This allows
engine temperatures to equalize. This is especially
important when the engine has been run at high rpm
or under heavy load just prior to shutdown.
1 Move the remote control lever to NEUTRAL N.
