NOTICE
The control information included in this section
is general only. For specific operation of the
controls on your boat, refer to the control
manufacturer’s literature and engine
manufacturer’s literature included in your
owner’s packet. Ensure you completely
understand the operation of the controls before
operating your boat. Also consult your dealer
should any questions arise regarding the
operation of the control unit.
NOTICE
Allow the engine to idle for the first ten
seconds. Monitor all instruments and displays
to ensure normal readings are shown. Check
that no alarms are displayed and that no
warning lights are flashing. Then warm the
engine at low speed and low load until engine

If your boat is equipped with a non-OEM
remote control system, ask your dealer how to
properly operate it.
