Launching And Boat Operation Care
CAUTION
To avoid possible ingestion of water that can damage engine components:
• Do NOT turn the ignition key off when the engine is above idle speed.
 When launching your boat from a steep ramp, enter the water slowly.
• Do NOT use the lanyard stop switch to shut off the engine above idle speed.
• When coming off plane, if a large following wave may roll over the boat’s
transom, apply a short, light burst of throttle to minimize the wave action against
the stern of the boat.
• Do NOT come off plane quickly, shift into reverse, and shut off engine.
IMPORTANT: Install the bilge drain plug prior to launching the boat.
