The engine can also be stopped by pulling the engine
stop switch cord (lanyard).

stop switch cord (lanyard) if the boat will

at idle or low speed for a few minutes first.
DRIVING YOUR SKEETER BOAT
Getting To Know Your Boat
Operating your Skeeter boat requires skills acquired
through practice over a period of time. Take the time to
learn the basic techniques well before attempting more
difficult maneuvers.
Boating with your new Skeeter boat can be a very
enjoyable activity, providing you with hours of
pleasure. But it is essential to familiarize yourself with
the operation of the Skeeter boat to achieve the skill
necessary to enjoy boating safely. Before operating
this Skeeter boat, read this Owner’s Manual, the
Owner’s Manual for your outboard motor, all Warning
and Caution labels on the boat and motor, as well as
all other informational material supplied with your boat.
Once the engine has stopped, you have very
little steering control over the boat. You could
collide with another boat, a dock, or other
obstacles.
