GENERAL INFORMATION

Before Operating Your Outboard

Read this manual carefully. Learn the difference in handling characteristics between a jet drive
boat and a propeller driven boat. If you have any questions, contact your dealer.
STEERING AT LOW SPEEDS
Unlike propeller driven boats, the jet drive boat tends to lose steering control as less water is drawn
in and expelled. Increase speed slightly to regain steering.
MANEUVERABILITY
The jet drive is highly maneuverable at higher speeds, more so, than propeller driven boats. Use
caution when turning to prevent spin - outs.
IN NEUTRAL
The impeller will continue to rotate while the engine is in neutral. Although the approximate
balancing of forward and reverse thrust will minimize boat movement, the boat may tend to
move slowly forward or backward. This is normal for a direct - drive jet driven boat. The operator
should be aware of this and use caution whenever the engine is running.
Safety and operating information that is practiced, along with using good common sense, can
help prevent personal injury and product damage.
This manual as well as safety labels posted on the outboard use the following safety alerts1. to
draw your attention to special safety instructions that should be followed.
Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or
