MAKE SURE ONE OTHER PERSON ON THE BOAT IS INSTRUCTED IN THE OPERATION

OF THE BOAT AND MAKE SURE THE BOAT IS OPERATED IN COMPLIANCE WITH ALL

STATE AND LOCAL LAWS GOVERNING THE USE OF A BOAT.

DO NOT OPERATE THE BOAT UNLESS IT IS COMPLETELY ASSEMBLED. KEEP ALL

FASTENERS TIGHT. KEEP ADJUSTMENTS ACCORDING TO SPECIFICATIONS.

• Always operate the blowers when operating the boat below cruising speed.

• Avoid sea conditions that are beyond the skill and experience of you and your crew.

• Before operating the boat for the first time, read the engine break-in procedures. The break-in procedures

are found in the owner’s manual for the engines. The manual is in the literature packet.

• As different types of engines are used to power the boat, have the dealer describe the operating procedures

for your boat. For more instructions on “How To Operate The Boat,” make sure you read the instructions

given to you in the owner’s manual for the engines you have selected.

For more instructions on safety, equipment and boat handling, enroll in one of the several free boating

courses offered. For information on the courses offered in your area, call the “Boating Course Hotline,”

1-800-368-5647.

If the running gear hits an underwater object, stop the engines. Inspect the propulsion system for

damage. If the system is damaged, contact your dealer for a complete inspection and repair of the unit.

TO STOP THE BOAT, FOLLOW THIS PROCEDURE:

TURN OFF THE ENGINE AT IDLE SPEED. RACING THE ENGINE BEFORE SWITCHING

IT OFF CAN DRAW WATER INTO THE ENGINE THROUGH THE EXHAUST. THIS CAN

CAUSE INTERNAL DAMAGE.

• Allow the engines to drop to the idle speed.

• Make sure the shifting levers are in the neutral position.

If the engines have been run at high speed for a long period of time, allow the engines to cool down by

running the engines in the idle position for 3 to 5 minutes.

• Turn the ignition keys to the “OFF” position.

• Raise the trim tabs to the full up position.

AFTER OPERATION:

• If operating in saltwater, wash the boat and all equipment with soap and water.
