Do not operate the starter motor continuously for more than fteen
(15) seconds without at least two (2) minutes for a “cool-down” pe-

damage. Failure to release the ignition key after the engine has started
may cause damage to the starter motor and drive. (Page 10-1)
Allowing the fuel level in the fuel tank to fall below one-quarter of a
tank full may affect the reliability of the fuel pump or result in damage to
the fuel pump, which is not covered under warranty.
(Pages 5-6, 7-1)
Damage to the engine by use of low-quality gasoline or gasoline with

Exposure to salt water will cause corrosion leading to signicant dam-
age to stainless steel and chrome parts. Failure to thoroughly rinse
salt water from all hardware, and to apply protective oil after each
exposure to salt water, will accelerate the corrosion of hardware and
will void your warranty. (Page 13-1)
The anchor, sometimes accompanied by a windlass, has been provided
to assist boaters in remaining in a chosen location. Note that use of
the anchor system will not guarantee a properly anchored boat or
that the boat will remain in a stationary position. Environmental, bot-
tom conditions, current and tidal conditions must be taken into con-
sideration when anchoring the boat. Only properly trained operators
should set the anchor for this system. Establishing a secure anchorage
requires practice. Damage to your boat may result due to improper
anchoring techniques. (Page 6-1)
The platform must be raised and locked into position for transporta
-
tion of the boat, as well as use of the platform while boating. Leaving
