Ignition Slot ONLY (Response base model)
Step 5: Turn the key first to ON. Check that power to the electrical system appears by way of the gauge sweep.
Step 6: 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 5
and 6. Never hold the key in the Start position for an extended 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 5: Turn the key first to ON. Check that power to the electrical system appears by way of the video screen lighting and
beginning a check of the system. Press the power button and enter the boat code.
The default is 1-2-3-4, but boat owners
can change this by following directions provided in the
Dashes and Video Screen
section of this Owner’s Manual.
Step 6: If the electrical system has responded, press and hold the START-STOP button for approximately one (1) second and then
release. 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 5 and 6. Never press the button for an extended period. If the engine does not start as
it should, make sure the throttle/shifter is in neutral. If it still does not start, then 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. There is also a back-up ignition key on the starboard shifter panel, next to the
breaker panel. Start this as you would a land-based vehicle.
For both types of starting systems
Step 7: 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 that arise 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—RESPONSE
On an ignition-only boat, turn the key to OFF. On a boat equipped with a START-STOP button, press the button. If the outing
is done, also turn the key to OFF. (Failing to do so allows the electrical system to continue to function; eventually, this will drain the
battery or batteries.)
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 power button 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.
BREAK-IN PERIOD—ALL BOATS
The first hours of the boat operation have critical requirements for engine break-in. This information is
contained in the engine owner’s manual. Be sure to review this information carefully. Failure to follow the
instructions will void the engine warranty!
With regard to the boat, pay close attention to the screens, and monitor the readings. Pay particular attention
to the oil pressure and engine temperature information as these are the earliest warnings when something is going
wrong with the drive train. Alarms will sound if serious problems are encountered.
Also, check carefully for leaks. The break-in period is the most-likely time for leaks to appear, whether fuel, oil,
water or exhaust.
