2.2 Engine Starting Procedures
1.
Turn the key to the “ON” position; you will hear an audible “alarm”
sound. Push the transfer button at the shifter base. Let go and wait for
a red solid light to appear on the shifter.
2.
Hold the transfer button (push and hold in) at the shifter base while
moving the throttle lever from neutral into the forward position
(about 1/4 throttle).
3.
You will notice the solid red light on the shifter is blinking, this is the
neutral start position. If engine is cold move throttle all the way for-
ward and back slowly 2 times, then move forward 1/2 way - turn key
on and pull throttle back to approximately 1200 rpm for warm up.
Light must be solid red before putting into forward or reverse.
The further forward the shifter lever is, the faster the boat will go.
Remember, we do not recommend exceeding speeds of 2500 R.P.M.
in forward or reverse because of fuel consumption concerns.
Pulling the shifter back towards you past neutral position will de-
crease speed and put you into reverse. The further back you pull the
shifter the more power you will apply.
Remember not to “over-rev” the engine in reverse, (above 2200-2500
R.P.M. you will hear an unusual sound from the back end of your
boat), this could damage the engine. Use short sustained bursts of
throttle to slow and stop your boat.
4.
To warm-up the engine before putting it in gear allow the engine to
run for about 5-10 minutes.
TRIM
The trim should always be completely down when running the engine. We
recommend leaving the leg in this position when you are beached. The only
time you should raise the leg is to check your prop for damage or if your
boat is turned sideways on a beach.
Make sure your engine is not running at any time when the leg is raised.
