Starter will not operate

If the starter mechanism does not operate
(the engine cannot be cranked with the start-
er), the engine can be started manually with
an emergency starter rope. However, the en-
gine cannot be started manually if the battery
voltage is low. If the battery is discharged to
9 volts or below, the electric fuel pump will
not operate.

WARNING
Use this procedure only in an emergen-
G
cy to return to the nearest port for re-
pairs.
When the emergency starter rope is
G
used to start the engine, the start-in-
gear protection device does not oper-
ate. Make sure the remote control lever
is in neutral. Otherwise the boat could
unexpectedly start to move, which
could result in an accident.
Attach the engine stop switch lanyard
G
to a secure place on your clothing, or
your arm or leg while operating the
boat.
Do not attach the lanyard to clothing
G
that could tear loose. Do not route the
cord where it could become entangled,
preventing it from functioning.
Avoid accidentally pulling the lanyard
G
during normal operation. Loss of en-
gine power means the loss of most
steering control. Also, without engine
