Section 9
9-6
• Never reenter your vehicle while refueling on land and towing your boat. Getting
into and out of your vehicle might build up a static charge that could ignite the
fumes at the fill pipe.
• If a fire occurs, do not panic, and do not remove the nozzle from the gas tank.
• Evacuate all passengers from the vehicle and refueling area, and immediately
alert station attendants so they can use the emergency shutoff and fire
extinguisher.
• If you are unable to pump fuel at a reasonable speed, check the fuel tank vent
for restrictions.
After refueling, observe the following:
The first time you fill your boat’s fuel tank(s) and after each refueling, check the
entire fuel system for leaks and/or damaged parts. Leaks and/or damaged parts
must be repaired and the area ventilated to remove explosive fumes.
• Close the fill cap(s) securely.
• Wipe up any spilled fuel completely. Dispose of the rags properly.
• Check for fuel vapors before starting the engine.
• Operate the bilge blower before the engine is started, for a minimum of four
minutes.
GETTING UNDER WAY
The following basic boat maneuvering and operation principles do not cover all
conditions or situations you may encounter during operation. It is important for you
and anyone else operating the boat to have certified instruction from local boating
authorities.
Always advise all passengers on-board of your steering, stopping and
accelerating intentions to avoid personal injury or even death.
Make sure all passengers are properly seated and not riding on the bow, gunwale
or rear platform while under way. Use caution when riding in the bow. Move to the
aft passenger seats during rough water operation.
Starting
Secure the boat to the dock before starting the engine. See Section 8 - Controls,
Features and Options for operation and location information.
1. Open the seacock in the engine compartment by moving the lever so it is
parallel to the valve body.
2. Rotate Battery Switch to the ON position
3. Attach the hook of the Emergency Kill Switch Lanyard to your life jacket or
belt loop. Attach the other end of the lanyard to the Emergency Kill Switch on
the Power Switch panel.
4. Insert key if used and turn the Power Switch to the ON position.
