Engine Shutdown

Before Engine Shutdown

Plan where the boat will be stopped, reduce speed to
approach the area (dock, anchorage, etc.). Maneuver
the boat to the dock or other safe place, position the
boat so that it can be secured or anchored. When in
position, move the shift mechanism to neutral. Secure
the boat, if possible the captain should remain at the
helm while the passengers secure the boat.

WARNING!

Avoid abrupt changes in speed or direction when
maneuvering towards a dock or slip. Passengers could
be injured if thrown about in the boat due to sudden
changes in boat movement.

Stop the Engine

1 The control lever must be at NEUTRAL

N

.

2 Let engine return to idle.

Allow the engine to run at low idle, in neutral, for a
few minutes after operations are completed. This
allows engine temperatures to equalize. This is
especially important when the engine has been run
at high rpm or under heavy load just prior to shut-
down.

3 Turn ignition key to OFF

0

.

NOTICE!

Do not stop the engine at speeds above idle

or “speed up” the engine while turning off the ignition.
Do not stop the engine while in gear or while the boat
is moving. Engine damage could result from water
being sucked back up through the exhaust ports.
