9.3. Gearshift and throttle
The engine is put into gear by pushing the button on the gear/throttle handle upwards
with your fingers and by pushing or pulling the gear/throttle lever forward or backward,
depending on the direction in which you are planning to go. When the engine is in gear, you
can adjust the boat’s speed using the same gear/throttle lever.
When the boat is travelling forward slowly, you can use the reverse gear for braking when
approaching the dock, for instance. You must not shift into reverse if the boat is travelling
at higher speeds, because it will damage the engine.
9.4. Adjusting of trim angle
These are the main rules when adjusting the trim angle:
When bringing the boat to plane, keep the ‘bow down’ position
When the boat is planing and seas are calm, keep lifting the bow until you can feel that
both the engine and the boat move very easily. In calm waters, the engine should normal -
ly be trimmed up at least 3 scale marks on the trim indicator on the revolution counter. If
the engine is trimmed up too much, the speed of the boat will be reduced. If the boat is
trimmed too low, the boat will run slowly and the engine will run heavily. To achieve good
fuel economy, it is important to drive the boat with the right engine trim angle.
In heavy head seas, lower the bow to allow it to slice through the waves better, thus provid -
ing a smoother ride.
In following seas, raise the bow to avoid ‘diving’ into the waves.
When reversing, raise the trim angle slightly to bring the engine up.
WARNING!
Do not drive the boat at high speeds with the engine trimmed up
(bow up), as there is a risk of sudden heeling when the propeller hits the water again af -
ter a flight in heavy waves. Likewise, do not drive at high speed with the engine completely
trimmed down (bow down) since this can cause the boat to pitch unexpectedly when the
bow hits the water.
WARNING!
Waves reduce manoeuvrability and make the boat heel. Accordingly, reduce speed when
encountering heavier seas.
9.5. Starting the engine
Switch the power on using the main power switch.
Lower the engine to the driving position by pressing the Power Trim button on the gear/
throttle handle.
Check that the gear/throttle handle is in the neutral position and that the emergency
switch is attached to the bottom of the remote control.
Switch on the current, using the start key, without starting the engine and wait a few sec -
onds for the warning lights to light up.
Start the engine by turning the ignition key clockwise until the engine starts. If everything is
in order, the engine should start within 1-2 seconds. If the engine does not start, you should
not try to start it for more than 10 seconds at a time.
After the engine has started, let it idle for a few minutes before setting off. (Please refer to
the engine manual!)
