 Do not use the reverse function to slow
down or stop the boat as it could cause
you to lose control, be ejected, or im-
pact the steering wheel or other parts of
the boat. This could increase the risk of
serious injury. It could also damage the
shift mechanism.
 Do not shift into reverse while traveling
at planing speeds. Loss of control, boat
swamping, or damage to the boat could
occur.
The boat is not equipped with a separate
braking system. Water resistance stops it af-
ter the throttle is closed and the engine re-
turns to idle speed. The stopping distance
varies depending on gross weight, water sur-
face conditions, and wind direction.
