down to the cruising speed of your choice, based on the
sea conditions and your planned activity.
1. After coming on plane, raise the trim to a point
where the engine is level with or slightly above
the plane of the water. This is usually with the
bow at about 3° to 5° above level. This will
provide the smoothest, most economical opera-
tion.
2. Keep a constant vigil for other boats and water-
craft and be prepared to give way, or slow
down, if necessary. (We suggest you enroll in
a boating safety course offered by the U.S.
Power Squadron or the Coast Guard Auxiliary.)
3. When coming off plane, allow the engine to
come back to an idle speed until the boat slows
down.
4. Shift to the neutral position.
While underway keep a constant vigil for the other
craft that may be approaching, the gauges on your boat,
location of passengers and the general sound and feel
of your craft. Often, a change in the way the engine
sounds or the boat feels will presage a problem. Your
early attention may prevent a more serious problem.
If you should strike an underwater object, bring the
throttle to neutral and stop the engine. Inspect the
lower unit for damage. If none is apparent, proceed as
before but heighten your. Awareness of the engine and
its operation to make sure a problem has not gone
undetected.
Stopping — You do Not Have Brakes on a Boat
Practice stopping maneuvers and learn early how your
boat reacts. From forward motion, pull back the throt-
tle towards NEUTRAL. Depending on your speed, the
distance the boat travels until it comes to a complete
stop will vary. The ability to measure this distance will
only be acquired through experience.
To aid in a quicker stop, the throttle/shift can be moved
to the reverse position once it has been returned to
NEUTRAL.
Be certain that all persons who have operated the boat
are acquainted with all facets of boat handling.
Anchoring
1. The weight of the anchor and diameter of
anchor line should be governed by the size and
weight of your boat. Obtain advice from your
dealer before purchasing an anchor.
2. Keep anchor secure while underway to prevent
damage or injury due to sudden shifting in the
boat's attitude.
3. Make sure the anchor line is secured to the bow
eye or bow cleat. Never tie toe rail, rail fitting,
or other hardware
Which is not meant to support this stress. Never
tie anchor to the stern unless you also are using
a bow anchor. Anchoring by the stern only
could cause wind driven waves to enter your
boat.
4. Use two or more anchors if anchoring
overnight or for extended periods. If not using
two anchors, make certain there is sufficient
clearance for your boat to swing in a full circle
to prevent damage in case of shifting winds.
5. Make certain you have enough anchor line (or
scope) for the depth of water. Your anchor line
should be 6-7 times the depth of water
anchored in. For example, you are in 20 feet of
water, so use 120-140 feet of anchor line.
Dropping Anchor
1. Have a crewmember carefully lower the
anchor. Keep slight tension on the anchor
while lowering and maintain your tension after
anchor reaches bottom.
2. Maneuver the boat backwards slowly until the
proper length of anchor line is handed out.
3. Fasten the anchor line around the bow eye or
deck cleat. Anchor flukes should dig in and
catch.
Watch for anchor drag by checking shoreline land-
marks at the time the anchor is dropped and one-half
hour later. If the boat has drifted away from these ref-
erence marks, the anchor is dragging and must be reset.
Weighing (pulling in) Anchor
1. It is recommended to have the engine running
when you pull in anchor.
2. Slowly maneuver the boat forward to reduce
tension on the line and make retrieval of the
anchor line easier.
3. Pull in the length of anchor's shank and free the
flukes from the bottom.
If the anchor becomes stuck, attach the vertical line to
the mooring cleat. Wave action on the bow may lift
flukes from the bottom and free the anchor. If the
