UNDERWAY
10. If your engine has a carburetor, run engine
approximately one to two minutes at the recommended
speed to warm it up. Keep boat secure at dock until
engine is warmed up. Return engine to slow idle after
warmup. (This step does not apply to fuel-injected
engines.)
LEAVING THE DOCK
Before getting underway, check that tables are properly
secured to posts and bases. Twist them and at the same
time push them down to assure that the friction lock is
secure. We recommend that you take tables down at
speeds above 25 mph or in heavy weather.
After the engine has warmed up, you are ready to leave
the dock. Before you cast off, check all gauges for proper
readings. If oil pressure reading is abnormally low or
temperature reading abnormally high, stop engine
immediately. Check the operation of the steering by
turning the steering wheel to full port and to full starboard
while observing outdrive movement. With boat still securely
moored to the dock and engine idling, move the throttle
forward, then aft, then back to neutral to check for proper
shifting. Release mooring lines and stow fenders.
Passengers are to remain seated while casting off and
underway. Sudden or unexpected movements may
cause passenger to fall and cause personal injury. Make
sure passengers seated ahead of the helm console do
not obstruct driver’s vision. Make sure gate is closed,
and no passengers are seated on foredeck, outside rails
or on gunwales.
IMPORTANT: Falls from moving boats are a major cause
of fatal recreational boating accidents. Do not allow
