Engine Starting - 25
Tie knot in each end of the emergency starter cord.
Thread the small bar from the tools kit halfway
through one knot so it forms a handle. Hook the oth-
er knot in the notch on the flywheel and wind the
cord clockwise around the flywheel. Make sure the
knot will clear the starter pinion.

Connect the clip to the emergency stop / key switch.
Turn the key switch to the ON position ONLY, listen
carefully for the electric fuel pump to cycle.
While seated, pull the starter cord quickly and com-
pletely. The first pull is needed to energize the elec-
trical system. Rewind the starter cord and pull
again. Repeat as needed until the engine starts.
If your engine’s electrical system is functional, the
alternator should charge the battery once the en-
gine is running. If it is not, the engine will quit run-
ning once the battery voltage is too low to power the
electrical components and the
EMM
.
DO NOT attempt to replace the flywheel cover or
the engine cover while the engine is running.
Snap lanyard to secure place on clothing and pro-
ceed to the nearest landing for service.

ing on boat load and hull design. When boat reach-
es top speed, throttle back from FULL SPEED to
