5.11.2. 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 which
direction you are planning to set out. When the engine is in gear, you adjust the boat speed with the
same gear/throttle lever.
When the boat is travelling forward slowly, you can use the reversing gear for braking, for instance,
when approaching the quay. Shifting into reverse must not be done if the boat is travelling at higher
speeds, because it damages the engine.
5.11.3. Adjusting of trim angle
The following 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 in the event, that the sea is still, the bow is lifted until you can feel
that both the engine and the boat move very easily. In calm water, the engine should normally be
trimmed up at least 3 scale marks on the trim indicator on the rev counter If engine is trimmed
up too much, the speed of the boat is reduced. If the boat is trimmed too low, both boat and
engine run heavily. To achieve good fuel economy, it is important to drive the boat with the right
engine trim angle.
- In a heavy sea lower the bow to allow it to slice through the waves better, thus providing a
smoother ride.
- In following waves, raise the bow to avoid “diving” into the waves.
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 after 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 it hits the water.
WARNING!
Waves reduce maneuverability and make the boat heel. Take this into account by reduc-
ing the speed when encountering heavier seas.
5.11.4. Starting the engine
1. Switch on the engine using the main switch.
2. Lower the engine to the driving position by pressing the Power Trim button on the gear/throttle
handle.
3. 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.
4. Switch on the current, using the start key, without starting the engine and wait a few seconds
until the warning lights light up.
5. Start the engine by turning the ignition key clockwise, until it starts. If everything is correct the
engine should start within 1-2 seconds. If the engine does not start you should not “crank” the
starter engine for more than 10 seconds at any one time.
6. After the engine has started, let it idle for a few minutes before setting off. (Please refer to the
engine manual!)
