4. Turn the main switch to “ ” (start),
and hold it for a maximum of 5 seconds.
5. Immediately after the engine starts, re-
lease the main switch and allow it to re-
turn to “ ” (on). NOTICE: Never turn
the main switch to “ ” (start)
while the engine is running. Do not
keep the starter motor turning for more
than 5 seconds. If the starter motor is
turned continuously for more than 5
seconds, the battery will be quickly
discharged, thus making it impossible
to start the engine. The starter can
also be damaged. If the engine will not
start after 5 seconds of cranking,
return the main switch to “ ”(on),
wait 10 seconds, then crank the engine

If the engine is warm and fails to start,

WARNING
●
Failure to attached engine shut-off cord
could result in a runaway boat if opera-
tor is ejected. Attach the engine shut-
off cord to a secure place on your cloth-
ing, or your arm or leg while operating.
Do not attach the cord to clothing that
could tear loose. Do not route the cord
where it could become entangled, pre-
venting it from functioning.
●
Avoid accidentally pulling the cord dur-
ing normal operation. Loss of engine
power means the loss of most steering
control. Also, without engine power,
the boat could slow rapidly. This could
cause people and objects in the boat to
be thrown forward.

TIP:
The start-in-gear protection device prevents
the engine from starting except when in neu-
