FASTENERS TIGHT. KEEP ADJUSTMENTS ACCORDING TO SPECIFICATIONS.
• Always operate the blowers when operating the boat below cruising speed.
• Avoid sea conditions that are beyond the skill and experience of you and your crew.
• Before operating the boat for the first time, read the engine break-in procedures. The break-
in procedures are found in the owner’s manual for the engines. The manual is in the literature
packet.
• As different types of engines are used to power the boat, have the dealer describe the operating
procedures for your boat. For more instructions on “How To Operate The Boat,” make sure
you read the instructions given to you in the owner’s manual for the engines you have selected.
Note: For more instructions on safety, equipment and boat handling, enroll in one of the
several free boating courses offered. For information on the courses offered in your
area, call the “Boating Course Hotline,” 1-800-368-5647.
Note: If the running gear hits an underwater object, stop the engines. Inspect the
propulsion system for damage. If the system is damaged, contact your dealer for
a complete inspection and repair of the unit.
To stop the boat, follow this procedure:
• Allow the engines to drop to the idle speed.
• Make sure the shifting levers are in the neutral position.
Note: If the engines have been run at high speed for a long period of time, allow the
engines to cool down by running the engines in the idle position for 3 to 5 minutes.
• Turn the ignition keys to the “OFF” position.
• Raise the trim tabs to the full up position.
After Operation:
• If operating in saltwater, wash the boat and all equipment with soap and water.
• Check the bilge area for debris and excess water.
