Note: If the drive unit hits an underwater object, stop the engine. Inspect the drive unit
for damage. If the unit 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 the idle speed.
• Make sure the shifting levers are in the neutral position.
Note: 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. Flush the
engines using fresh water. Please refer to the engine owner's manual for instructions on flushing
your outboard engines.
• Check the bilge area for debris and excess water.
• Fill the fuel tanks to near full to reduce condensation. Allow enough room in the tanks 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 seacocks.
• Make sure the boat is securely moored.
TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO THE BOAT, CLOSE ALL SEA COCKS BEFORE
LEAVING THE BOAT.
