Manoeuvring
WARNING
Shifting between ahead and
astern should be done at idling
speed. Shifting at higher speed
can damage the engine and the
transmission and be dangerous
for passengers.
CAUTION
On a twin engine boat, both
engines should be started during
reversing manoeuvres to reduce
the risk of water ingress in the
stationary engine.
Carry out the following operations
for forward / reverse manoeuvres:
1. Reduce engine speed to idling
and, if possible, let the boat lose
most of its speed.
2. Move the control lever to the
neutral position and wait a few
seconds.
3. Move the control lever into
astern. Increase the speed.

Cruising in shallow
water
Use extreme caution when cruising
in shallow water or in areas likely
to contain submerged objects that
can hit the propeller, the drive, the
hull, etc.
After hitting a submerged object,
immediately switch off the engine
and check the condition of the
transmission, the propeller shaft,
the drive and the tie bar (Stern
Drive version only) and the hull.
CAUTION
A damaged tie bar may affect
steering characteristics, and in
the worst case steering could be
lost altogether.
If excessive vibration are generated
by the propulsion system, return to
the harbor at low speed and have
your propulsion system checked by
a qualified technician.
AUTOMATIC KICK-UP FUNCTION
ONLY IN STERN DRIVE VERSION
The automatic kick-up function re-
lease the drives if it grounds or hits
an object in the water.
The function only protects the drive
when running ahead (forwards).
