8.5 Initial Sea Trial

With the engine lanyard properly connected to you, and any passengers
securely seated, carefully proceed to a section of deep, open water at
a slow to moderate speed. Use the trip to get a feel for the steering
and control response. When in open water that is deep enough to
assure you will not run aground, try various maneuvers with the boat
at various speeds until you are comfortable operating the boat.
Be sure to spend some time becoming comfortable with each of the
following:
Steering – Check at various speeds and different rate turns.
joystick – Try all the various modes and using both primary and
secondary actions.
If adjustments to the system are required see Section 7.4.3 for
steering adjustments or contact your dealer.
