Operation
Notice:
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.
Notice:
If the running gear hits an underwater ob-
ject, stop the engines. Inspect the propul-
sion 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:
• Allow the engines to drop to idle speed.
• Make sure the shift levers are in the neutral
position.
Notice:
If the engines have been run at high speed
for a long period of time, allow the engines
to cool down by running them 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.
• Check the bilge area for debris and excess
water.
• Fill the fuel tanks to near full to reduce con-
densation. Allow enough room in each tank
for the fuel to expand without being forced out
through the vent.
• Turn off all electrical equipment except the
automatic bilge pumps.
• If you are going to leave the boat for a long
period of time, put the battery main switches
in the “OFF” position and close all sea cocks.
• Make sure the boat is securely moored.
CAUTION
TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO THE BOAT, CLOSE ALL SEACOCKS
BEFORE LEAVING THE BOAT.
2.5 Docking, Anchoring & Mooring
Docking Introduction
Maneuvering the boat near the dock and securing
the boat requires skill and techniques that are
unique to the water and wind conditions and the
layout of the dock. If possible, position a crew
member at the bow and stern to man the lines and
assist in docking operations. While maneuvering
close to the dock, consideration must be given to
the wind and current. You should anticipate the
effect these forces will have on the boat and use
them to help put the boat where you want it. It
is important to practice in open water using an
imaginary dock enough to develop a sense for
the way your boat handles in a variety of dock-
ing scenarios. You must be able to foresee the
possibilities and have solutions in mind before
problems occur.
Approaching a dock or backing into a slip in high
winds or strong currents requires a considerable
amount of skill. If you are new to boat handling,
you should take lessons from an experienced
pilot to learn how to maneuver your boat in tight
quarters in less than ideal conditions. You should
also practice away from the dock during windy
conditions.
If your boat is equipped with a joystick in-
tegrated into the engine control system and
you are using the joystick to maneuver the
boat, you should leave all engines running
while using the joystick to maneuver the
boat to the dock or back into the slip.
Note, most joystick controls will be deacti-
vated if either throttle & shift control lever
is moved while maneuvering the boat.
Electronic control system and joystick op-
eration is unique to the engines installed
on your boat. Operation manuals for the
engines and control systems are included
with this manual. You should read these
manuals thoroughly and understand the
control system in theory and operation be-
fore operating your boat. Additionally, your
dealer should demonstrate the operation
of the control system and instruct you in
operating the controls properly.
