Stereo Power
The optional stereo system can be activated by either turning the ignition key on, or can
be used without the engine started by turning the key to the left position; the stereo head
unit is located on the helm to the left of the steering wheel.
Surf Service
Surf Service will enable both gates to fully deploy. This feature can only be accessed
while the boat is not moving.
The Surf Service feature is recommended to be used when the swim platform needs to be
removed or added without the interference of Surf Gates.

Throttle Control

The throttle lever is located to the right of the driver. When
the throttle is vertical, it is in the "NEUTRAL" position. At
the base of the throttle you will find the shift lock knob.
Pulling outward on this knob disengages the transmission,
thereby allowing use of the throttle without engaging the
transmission. This is used for warm-up of the engine in
neutral. Be sure to position the throttle vertically (in
"NEUTRAL"), before re-engaging the transmission, by
depressing the knob.
When engaging the transmission from "NEUTRAL" to either forward or reverse, you
must pull up on the safety collar located directly below the throttle lever knob.
WARNING
Do not shift from forward to reverse at high RPMs; damage to
the transmission will result. When shifting from forward to
!
reverse you must stop in the NEUTRAL position, doing this
allows the engine to run in its idle position before moving into
the opposite gear. Moving the shift lever from FORWARD to
REVERSE without stopping in NEUTRAL can cause the
transmission to "slam" into gear, damaging the transmission
and/or causing the engine to shut off. This will cause
temporary loss of boat control which can cause damage
and/or injury to the boat and/or persons in or around the boat.
WARNING
Before starting the engine or engaging transmission, ensure
all swimmers are out of the water.
