Docking
Always enter marinas and dock areas at low speed ~ 5mph
(8km/h) or as posted Approach the dock head-on, turning
the steering wheel sharply as you come closer to the dock,
bringing the side of the boat you wish to dock on around
to face the dock. Put the boat into reverse gear and turn
the wheel or tiller in the opposite direction to pull the stern
towards the dock, and then put the boat in “Neutral”. The
boat should drift sideways, gently towards the dock Practice
this often, carefully and at low speeds. Take advantage of
any assistance you may be offered when docking
Leaving a Dock
When leaving a dock, check for traffic and start the engine
in neutral. Then have a passenger or someone on shore
untie the boat and push the boat away from the dock Once
the boat is clear of the dock by approximately 1m (3 ft) and
is clear of any obstructions or other boats, put the boat in
gear and proceed with caution at the slowest throttle setting
until the boat is into open water
Beaching
When beaching the boat, it is critical that the motor
be turned off and the motor or leg tilted up so that the
propeller does not strike sand or rocks on the beach When
approaching the shore for beaching, slow the boat down so
that a sudden stop will not cause jarring to the passengers
or damage to the boat As you approach the beach and the
water becomes shallower turn the motor off, tilt the drive up
fully, and drift onto the beach Once on the beach secure
the boat to a fixed object on shore.
Take care in tidal waters that the boat is not beached long
enough for the tide to come in and carry your boat away, or
for the tide to go out and leave your boat stranded.
When you’re ready to leave the beach, have your
passengers board the boat, untie your boat from shore, and
push it into the water Do not lower the outboard until there
is sufficient water to avoid engine damage. Hull damage as
a result of beaching is not covered under warranty.
Night Operation and Anchoring
Your boat is equipped with navigation lights which must
be turned on from dusk till dawn. The anchor or “all-round”
light must be displayed while at anchor during the night
in any area that experiences marine traffic. Never operate
your boat after dusk if the navigation and anchor lights are
not functioning properly
Auxiliary Engine Operation
When operating the vessel under the main engine power,
always have the auxiliary motor tilted out of the water.
Engine damage may occur if the auxiliary engine is in the
water while in planning speeds
