4E2: Dinghy
The dinghy aboard this boat is an 11’-6” Bullfrog boat.
For safety, and compliance with U.S. rules, there
should be a life jacket aboard the dinghy for each
passenger aboard whenever the dinghy is at sea.
The dinghy is equipped with running lights, fuel tank
and bilge pump. Be sure all equipment is “Off” when
stowing the dinghy! Open the drain plug in rainy
weather so the pump doesn’t run.
Please be careful when pulling the dinghy ashore on
beaches to minimize damage and scratches to the
bottom. Don’t “Ram” the beach; you can bump up
to the beach gently and step ashore over the bow,
pulling the dinghy a little more ashore as each person
off-loads. Don’t forget to raise the outboard!
4E3: Outboard Motor
The outboard motor for the dinghy is a four-stroke
Honda 30 HP outboard. It uses plain fuel, oil should
not be mixed with the gasoline. To check the oil,
remove the cover by operating the latch at the back
of the motor. The dipstick is on the starboard side,
while the fill is aft.
Be sure to replace and latch the cover after the
checks!
The motor has an automatic choke.
Outboard Operation:
1. Be sure engine is lowered.
2. Pump fuel line bulb until it resists your squeeze.
3. Turn key to center “On” and “Right” to start. The choke is automatic.
4. The rocker switch on the end of the control handle operates the motor’s electric tilt.
5. Lift the lever that overhangs the aft edge of the control module to accelerate the engine for warm-up.
6. From neutral, squeeze, then push control handle forward or back to engage gears and advance throttle in either
direction.
