WARNING
●
Always attach the engine shut-off cord
(lanyard) to your PFD before starting the
engine. Failure to attach the cord could
result in a runaway boat if the operator is
ejected.
●
Do not attach the cord to clothing that
could tear loose. Do not route the cord in
such a way that it could become entan-
gled, preventing it from functioning.
●
Avoid accidentally pulling the cord dur-
ing normal operation. Once the engine
has stopped, you have no steering con-
trol of the boat which could result in an
accident. Also, without engine power,
the boat could slow rapidly from planing
speed. This could cause people and ob-
jects in the boat to be thrown forward,
which could cause injury.
The clip on the end of the engine shut-off cord
(lanyard) must be attached to the engine shut-
off switch for the engine to run. The cord must
be attached to a secure place on the opera-
tor’s PFD. Should the operator fall overboard
or leave the helm, the cord will pull out the clip,
stopping ignition to engine. This will prevent
the boat from running away under power.

This boat uses two marine batteries. One bat-
tery is designated as the start battery. The
start battery is connected to the starter circuit
on the engine to provide current for the starter
motor.
The other battery is designated as the house
battery. The house battery provides power for
the various accessory circuits on the boat,
such as the circuits for the lighting, bilge
pump, blowers and audio system.
