See following section for information regarding operation.
Horn 
The horn is sounded by means of a button on the instrument panel. 
Pressing the button emits a loud and recognizable noise.
START/STOP Button 
NXT models are equipped with a removable ignition key. Its 
purpose is for safety and security. The key should be inserted 
prior to starting an outing, and removed at the conclusion. This is 
intended to prevent theft or unapproved use of the boat. 
The process for starting the boat is: 
•  Insert the key and turn to the right (starboard). This turns ON the 
electrical system and prompts the battery(ies) to provide power.
•  Turn the blower ON and allow it to run for at least four (4) 
minutes before starting the engine.
•  Momentarily press the ENGINE START-STOP button.
•  Momentarily press the ENGINE START-STOP button to turn OFF 
the engine.
IMPORTANT NOTE: These switch controls and pumps do not 
operate AUTOMATICALLY! It is important for operators to return 
the switches to the center (or neutral) position after filling or 
emptying  tanks
It is possible for operators to be aware when tanks are full as over- 
flow will exit the tanks through the overflow vents. When emptying, 
operators should pay attention to the vents. When the tanks are 
empty, water will cease to come out the vents. 
 
 
 
 
Maintain ballast switches in the center or neutral positions at all 
times, except when filling or emptying tanks. Failure to follow this 
guideline may result in damage to the ballast pumps.  
Any resultant damages to ballast pumps are not covered under 
warranty. 
In the event of ballast pump failure, the inability to empty the 
tank(s) of all water may result in more serious issues. These 
include unanticipated eects on boat maneuverability; inability 
to tow the boat; and/or instability while towing the boat due to the 
increased weight from the filled tank.
