Power Trim & Tilt Switch:
The power trim and tilt switch is attached to the control lever grip and is operated by using your
thumb. Pushing the switch UP trims and tilts the engine up. Pushing the switch DOWN trims and
tilts the engine down. While the trim and tilt switch is being used, your dash “trim gauge” should in-
dicate the change in the angle of the propeller to the hull. As you push UP or DOWN on the switch
the gauge will move to reflect this change. Note that not every Azure is equipped with a “Trim
Gauge”. Please contact your dealer before installing this feature to your boat.
Some helpful Shift & Throttle operating tips:
When shifting between forward and reverse, always pause in neutral for a few seconds before revers-
ing propeller rotation to prevent damage to the engine and drive.
When maneuvering at low speeds, you can reverse the throttle to control or brake boat travel.
Gradually increase boat speed when moving in reverse. High speed acceleration in reverse can cre-
ate a wake that can cause water to flood the stern area of the boat.
Refer to your shift & throttle control ownerʼs manual for additional information.
Livewell System:
An aerated livewell is optional on select Azure models. The livewell provides an environment
where your catch or bait can be kept alive. It will be important for you to keep your livewell clean
and clear of debris for proper operation. Use only fresh water when cleaning the livewell. Note
that any residual amounts of soap, detergents, or bilge cleaners can kill fish inside of the livewell.
Keep pump and hoses clear of any buildup. Please note below two typical Azure livewells. Your
livewell may be different depending on your model of boat. Please contact your dealer before adding
a livewell to your boat.
Livewell Operation:
It is important to be aware of water and air temperatures to determine when and how often you
should aerate the livewell. You can turn the livewell pump on and off manually. The livewell pump
is wired to an accessory switch located on the driverʼs helm. The pump will run continuously when
the switch in on.
The pump draws water in through a fitting below the waterline of the boat and pumps this water into
the livewell tank. The water is then sprayed into the livewell tank through the spray bar. The spray
bar can be adjusted to control the volume of water flowing into the livewell tank. Oxygen content
increases as incoming water hits the surface of the water already in the livewell tank. This added
oxygen helps to keep your catch alive.
LIVEWELL SYSTEM:
The pump works best when the boat is at rest or moving at a very slow speed in the water. At faster
speeds, the pump does not work properly because it cannot draw water.
The stand pipe/overflow tube keeps your livewell tank from overflowing with water. It provides the
maximum water level available for the livewell tank. As water enters and fills up the tank, the stand
pipe allows the extra water to drain out below the deck of the boat back into the lake, river, etc..
Stand pipes can be cut down if lower water levels are desired. Consult your dealer for additional
information.
BIMINI TOP CANVAS
The bimini top canvas is provided as a standard feature for most Azure boats. Please refer to the
“Caring For Your Azure” section of this manual for recommended maintenance and care informa-
tion.
Azure offers different sizes of bimini canvas depending on the model of your boat. Some bimini
canvas is optional and at times it is unavailable for some models. Please note below installation in-
structions for the bimini canvas Azure offers. Please use the correct instructions based on the model
of boat you own.
FUEL SYSTEM
Gasoline is very volatile! Never have the engine running when refueling. Do not smoke or have
any open flame near the fuel tank, vent or fill. Be cautious while fueling during hot weather, because
heat expands gasoline causing pressure to build in portable fuel tanks. Never fill portable tanks to
capacity because expansion can cause fuel leakage.
