3. Make sure the throttle is in the neutral position.
4. Start the engine. Refer to your engine owner’s manual for rec-
ommended procedures for break-in, service, and other related
operation.
5. Turn ignition key to START, pressing choke if required. Release
key and allow to return to RUN after engine starts. If engine fails to
start, wait one minute. Move throttle only once to maximum posi-
tion then back to the neutral position. Try to start engine again.
Note: Transmission must be in neutral position before engine
will turn over.
Important: Do not operate starter continuously for more than
15 seconds without pausing. Allow starter to cool at least three
minutes between start attempts.
6. Warm up a cold engine by running it at fast idle speed (as
recommended in engine manual) approximately one to
two minutes.
Leaving the Dock
After the engine has warmed up, you are ready to leave the dock.
Before you cast off, check all gauges for proper readings. Check the
operation of the steering by turning the steering wheel to full port and
to full starboard while observing engine movement. Check that charg-
ing system is working properly. Check again for fuel and oil leaks.
When you are sure your boat is ready, check wind, tide, current or
other forces that will affect the way you maneuver your boat away
from the dock. The cast off mooring lines and stow fenders.
Shift your boat’s engine into forward or reverse depending on
whether you want to move the bow or the stern away from the dock
first. Move the throttle lever to neutral position. Then push forward
quickly and firmly to shift into forward gear or backward to shift to
reverse. Your engine should be running at a slow speed as you
move away from the dock. If you move the bow out first, watch that
the swim platform does not swing into the dock or a piling.
Getting Up To Cruising Speed
After slowly motoring from the dock area to open water, you can
safely accelerate to cruising speed. Advance throttle to setting
which provides your desired engine speed (RPMs). As you move
the throttle forward, engine RPMs increase, and your boat moves
faster through the water.
Important: Acceleration at full throttle is not recommended dur-
ing the engine “break-in period.” This “break-in period”
coincides with the engine “20-hour check-up.” Do not attempt
full throttle acceleration during the first 20 hours of operation.
When you throttle up and accelerate, your boat increases the trim
angle and causes the boat to ride bow-high. From a maximum
angle, the boat levels out to its planing attitude as you continue to
accelerate. (Figure 5.2)
The maximum angle is commonly known as the “hump.” You
should get over the hump as quickly as possible because visibility,
handling, and performance are limited until you do. Only a few
seconds at full throttle should be needed; however, the way your
boat is loaded, the wind, and sea conditions affect the time
required. When the boat gets over the hump, it reaches its planing
attitude. Then, accelerate until your boat reaches a comfortable
plane and then throttle down to cruising speed. This also provides
for better fuel efficiency.
