Step 1: Be certain the boat’s shifter/throttle is fully upright in the neutral
position. Additional information follows regarding shifting and
throttle response.
Step 2: Perform the pre-start routine, including the bilge inspection
and engine compartment inspection. (Details are provided in the Care
and Maintenance section of this Owner’s Manual.) Leave the engine
compartment open for the starting process.
Step 3: Attach the emergency safety
switch tether/lanyard to the
switch on the shifter/throttle,
and also to a piece of the
operator’s clothing.
Step 4: Insert the ignition key into the
ignition slot.
Step 5: Turn the key first to ON. Check that power to the
electrical system appears by way of the gauge
sweep and beginning a check of the system.
Step 6: Operate the blower for several minutes with the engine
compartment open and the boat in the water. The blower operates
automatically when the key is turned ON.
Step 7: If the electrical system has responded, turn the key to Start. Hold
the key in the Start position for approximately one (1) second and
then release the hold on the key. It will automatically return to
the ON position. The engine starter should engage and begin the
process that will allow the engine to run. If for some reason, the
engine does not start, repeat Steps 6 and 7. Never hold the key in
the Start position for a longer period. If the engine does not start as
it should, refer to the Troubleshooting section at the conclusion of this Owner’s Manual
for assistance in determining the cause. If any alarms sound or warning lights appear,
turn OFF the engine and troubleshoot.
Step 8: Allow the engine to run for several minutes with the engine compartment open! It is
extremely important for any accumulated fumes to be vented in this way. It also assures
that any new issues arising involving the engine, fuel system and ventilation system
are noted. Accumulation of fumes within the engine compartment can also lead to an
explosion.
To prevent a possible explosion, always operate the blower for several
minutes prior to starting the engine, and continue to operate with
the engine compartment open for several minutes after starting the
engine. Always operate the blower when the engine is idling or at a
low running speed. Improper ventilation can lead to accumulation of gasoline or exhaust fumes in the
compartment. This can lead to a fire or explosion, either of which can result in serious injury or death!
To turn OFF:
Turn the key to OFF. Note that, unlike a dry-land vehicle, turning OFF the boat does not
immediately stop its momentum. The boat will continue to move. Shifting to neutral will slow
progress, but allowance must be made for continued movement. See information following for
suggestions regarding docking.
The ignition key is a safety measure. It allows the operator an opportunity to briefly and
visually check the electrical system operation prior to starting. The key also reduces the
likelihood of theft of the boat or unauthorized use. Always remove and take the key with you
when the outing is done.
