tow the watercraft to shore at idle speed.
Battery Information
If the watercraft battery is run down, it should be removed and charged.
See the maintenance section of this manual for battery charging
recommendations, pages 116 to 120.
A weak battery can leave you stranded which could result in severe
injury or death. Never operate the watercraft with a battery that is
very weak and may not start the engine on its own.
If your watercraft has a fuel valve, always turn it off when
transporting or storing the watercraft. Fuel valve location varies
with certain models. Know your machine before operating.
