Trim Tab Switches
– These rocker switches
control the trim tabs located on the port and
starboard transom. Adjusting trim tabs will improve
the ride of your boat and correct listing from side to
side due to varying conditions.
Engine Stop Switch and Lanyard
– The engine stop
switch stops the engine when engaged. Attach the
lanyard to the boat operator whenever the engine is
running. If the operator is thrown from the seat or
moves too far from the helm, the lanyard will
engage the switch and shut off the engine.
To attach the lanyard, connect one end
to the safety switch and the hook on
the opposite end of the lanyard to
a strong piece of clothing on the
operator, such as a belt loop.
Attach the Engine Stop Switch lanyard to the operator before
starting the engine. This will prevent the boat from becoming a
runaway if the operator is accidentally thrown away from the
helm.
The Engine Stop Switch can only be effective when it is in
good working condition. Observe the following:
●
Never remove or modify the Engine Stop Switch and/or
lanyard.
●
Lanyard must always be free from obstructions that could
interfere with its operation.
Once a month: Check switch for proper operation. With engine
running, pull lanyard. If engine does not stop, see your
DEALER for replacement of switch.
NOTICE
The engine will not start unless the engine stop switch lanyard
is attached.
