down before sharp turns in either direction. Avoid rapid movements while driving at high
speeds, in high waves and at strong winds.
5. Never operate the boat if the engine rated power exceeds the maximum recommended
power.
6. Do not sit in the bow area (in front of cockpit) when the boat is moving at speeds higher

may cause injuries.
7. Always use the Emergency Engine Shutdown Switch when operating the boat.
