SHIFTING
GEARS
Always be certain that there is ample room around the boat when trying to start the en-
gine in forward position as the boat will move forward when the engine starts. Contact
with other boats, docks, shallow waterway bottoms, or debris may result in damage to
the boat that is not covered under warranty, and may also result in serious injury.
Never operate the starter motor continuously for more than fteen (15) seconds with-
out at least two (2) minute resting intervals. Failure to do so may result in the starter
overheating, which is damage not covered under warranty. The ignition key must be
released after the engine has started to avoid damage to the starter motor and drive.
