AVIARA OWNERS MANUAL / 142
Purpose
Two START-STOP buttons are used to start the engines after
the ignition keys have been turned ON. The same START-STOP
buttons turn the engine OFF.
Location
The START-STOP buttons are located on the driver’s side arm
rest just above the throttle.
Operation
The process for starting the boat is:
• Insert the keys and turn both to the ON position. (This turns
ON the electrical system and prompts the batteries to
provide power.)
• Turn the blower ON and allow it to run for at least four
(4) minutes before starting the engine on stern drive or
generator equipped models.
• Press the engine START-STOP buttons.
• Ensure that both engines are running by referencing that the
RPMs (shown in the engine screen) match for each engine.
• To turn the engines OFF, press each of the START-STOP
buttons. For stern drive boats, press and hold the START-
STOP button for three (3) seconds to turn OFF. If the button is
held for less than three (3) seconds, the engine will not turn
OFF. This is a system design to avoid shutting off the engine if
the button is inadvertently pressed or hit during operation.
Special Attention
The START-STOP buttons affect only the engines. The
electrical system will continue to operate as long as the keys
are turned ON.
If the keys are left in the ON position after the outing, the
batteries will eventually run down and the engines and all
systems will not start at the next outing as a result.
At the conclusion of the outing, turn the keys to the OFF
position and remove from the key slots. Doing so will ensure
that you have shut down the electrical system, and it will
prevent others from starting or running the boat.
Troubleshooting
If the keys are in the ON position and the engine will not start
by pressing the START-STOP buttons, check the voltmeter for
a reading. If it is lower than 10.5 volts or does not register, the
batteries require recharging. Use only a battery charger approved
