The rear platform hatch has interlocks to
shut off the engines should the hatch be
accidentally opened during operation.
The engines will not restart unless the
hatch is closed and latched.
Jump-starting
WARNING
Severe injury or death may result if you ig-
nore any of the following:
●
If the blower will not operate, ventilate
the engine compartment by opening the
engine hood for several minutes before
attempting a jump-start.
●
Do not connect the negative (–) jumper
cable to the negative (–) terminal of the
dead battery. Sparks could ignite battery
or fuel vapors, which could cause an ex-
plosion.
If the boat battery runs down, the engine can
be started in an emergency using a 12-volt
booster battery and jumper cables.
To connect the jumper cables:
(1) Connect the positive (+) terminal of the
dead battery to the positive (+) terminal of
the booster battery with the positive (+)
jumper cable.
(2) Connect one end of the negative (–)
jumper cable to the negative (–) terminal
of the booster battery.
(3) Connect the other end of the negative (–)
jumper cable to an engine hanger.
NOTICE:
Be sure all connections are
secure and correct before attempting
to start the engine. Any wrong con-
nection may damage the electrical
system.

NOTICE:
Do not turn the main
switch key for more than 5 seconds. If
the engine does not start in 5 seconds,
release the main switch key and try
again after 15 seconds. Continuous
cranking for more than 5 seconds will
discharge the battery and the engine
will not start. The starter motor may
also be damaged if it is engaged con-
tinuously for more than 5 seconds.

Do not use fuses of a higher amperage
than recommended. Substitution with a
fuse that has an improper rating can cause
extensive electrical system damage and
possible fire.
If a fuse is blown, replace it with the proper
fuse.
To replace a fuse:
(1) Open the engine hood. (See page 53.)
