Operation
If this is your first boat, or a boat type new to you, take someone with experience from a
corresponding boat with you on the first times.
5.9.1
Controls
You will quickly learn how to control your YAMARIN -boat, but the ever changing weather
conditions., like wind and waves, will always present new challenges for the driver. The boat
has a cable steering system. The remote control combines the functions of throttle, forward
and reverse gears, and trim angle adjustment.
5.9.2
Emergency switch
The emergency switch is a device with one end attached to the ignition switch panel and the
other end to, for instance, your life vest. When the emergency switch is detached from the
ignition switch panel, it automatically switches off the engine. It is extremely important that
the boat stops, if, for some reason, the pilot loses his or her balance and gets thrown away
from the pilot's position. Never drive the boat without attaching the emergency switch onto
yourself. If you attach it to your arm, do not steer the boat with that hand, because the lanyard
may twine around the steering wheel in tight turns.
The engine does not start if the emergency switch is not attached to the ignition switch panel.
WARNING! A rotating propeller is dangerous to anyone fallen overboard or a swimmer.
Switch off the engine with the emergency switch or otherwise before a
swimmer or a water skier climbs on board.
5.9.3
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 which direction you are planning to set out. When the engine is in gear, you adjust the boat
speed with this 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.
