Position the binnacle control lever in the neutral position.
Connect the safety lanyard to the cut off switch, and fasten
it to a belt or article of clothing such as a belt loop, and
turn the switch to the run position.
Turn the ignition key to the momentary start position. You
will hear the starter cranking over the engine. When the
engine starts, release the key switch. It will automatically
align itself in the run position.
If the engine does not start, refrain from cranking the
engine over 10-12 seconds. Allow the starter and battery a
chance to recover, and try again. If it continues not to start,
investigate the problem as described in the troubleshooting
section of your engine owner’s manual.

Shifting Guidelines_____________________________
Before shifting into reverse or forward, make sure the coast is clear.
When shifting to either gear from neutral, make sure the throttle is in
the idle position. Do not pause, but engage the shifter quickly into the
desired gear. Utilize the neutral release button to release the detention
system on the binnacle as you shift gears from neutral.
