STOPPING THE ENGINES

To stop the engine, return the throttle
levers to the idle position, then turn the
main switches to "Off." The engines can
also be stopped by pulling the engine
stop switch lanyard.
WARNING
Once the engine has stopped, you
have NO STEERING CONTROL over
the boat. You could collide with
another boat, a dock, or other
obstacle.
NOTE:
Remove the ignition keys and the
engine stop switch lanyard if the
boat will be left unattended.
Stopping the engines immediately
after operating at high rpm is not
recommended. Let the engines cool
off at idle or low speed for a few
minutes first.
BREAK-IN PROCEDURE
The engine and other components
require a break-in period to allow sur-
faces of moving parts to wear in evenly.
This ensures proper performance and
promotes longer engine life.
CAUTION:
Failure to follow the break-in pro-
cedures may result in reduced
engine life, or even engine damage.
During first full tank of fuel, use
50:1 pre-mix fuel (in addition to
oil in oil tank).
After above period, use straight
gasoline for normal operation.
1) Before launching: Fill the fuel tank
with 50:1 premix fuel. Fill the oil tank
with oil (see page 3-3). Launch the
boat and start the engine (see page
3-13).
2) First 5 minutes: Run the engine at
the lowest possible idling speed.
3) First tank of fuel: Gradually increase
the throttle position during opera-
tion, up to a maximum of one-half
throttle. Vary engine speed occa-
sionally.
4) Following this tank of premix fuel,
use straight gasoline in the fuel tank
and oil in the oil tank (see page 3-3).
Proceed with normal operation.
