WARNING
Using the emergency stopping capability of a jet drive unit will
slow down the boat in an emergency. However, sudden
stopping may cause the occupants of the boat to be thrown
forward or out of the boat resulting in serious injury or death.
Use caution when performing the emergency stopping
procedure, and be sure to practice in a safe area.
In an emergency, putting the jet outboard into reverse and
applying reverse throttle can rapidly slow down the boat and
reduce stopping distance. However, such a maneuver may
cause occupants in the boat to be thrown forward or possibly out
of the boat.
Protecting People In The Water
WHILE YOU ARE CRUISING
It is very difficult for a person standing or floating in the water to
take quick action to avoid a boat heading in his/her direction,
even at slow speed.
Always slow down and exercise extreme caution when boating in
an area where there might be people in the water.
Avoid shallow water or where any loose material such as sand,
shells, seaweed, grass, tree branches, etc., can be pulled in and
expelled from the pump as a high speed projectile.
