lower outboard into the water.

Prime the squeeze bulb in fuel line if necessary until it is hard.

Do not continue to pull starter cord with the choke out as this will flood the
engine.

anchoring.

Tender
The Swift inflatable is also a liferaft for Latitude Lady.
It has three separate compartments, one in each side and one forward, with air
filler caps should they require refilling.
The air pump is in the head forward cupboard .
Do not over inflate. If the hulls are inflated with cold air at night they will expand
in the heat of the day.
When opening the valve caps always ensure the plastic surround does not turn.
If this is loose a washer inside the hull can be displaced, causing loss of pressure.
If your Swift deflates contact Base because further use will puncture the bladder
and cause further damage.
