PERFORMANCE BOATING
Your Skeeter boat is a high-speed, high-performance
boat. DO NOT be tempted to push your boat to its
limits until you are completely familiar with its
operating characteristics.
We recommend that you never operate the boat
without first having an initial orientation and
familiarization/demonstration ride with your dealer or
an operator experienced with the boat/outboard
combination. All boats perform differently.
PROPELLERS
Care and selection of your propeller is very important
to proper boat operation. See your outboard motor
operator’s manual for propeller information.
Problems associated with propellers include
ventilation, cavitation, and blow-out. These problems
have similar symptoms and are best diagnosed by an
expert. Consult your Skeeter Dealer if you think you
have a propeller-related problem.
DO NOT trim the outboard out too far or the
boat may begin to “porpoise” (bounce up and
down). Porpoising reduces control and visibility
and lowers top speed and fuel efficiency. Failure
to maintain control or visibility could result in
serious injury or death.
WARNING
Never change a propeller without disconnecting
the battery from your outboard. Your propeller
can have sharp edges. Handle with care.
