DO NOT inhale exhaust fumes! Exhaust
contains carbon monoxide which is color less
and odorless. Carbon monoxide is a dangerous
gas that is potentially lethal.
Persons overcome by carbon monoxide may
exhibit the following symptoms:
a. Watering and itchy eyes
b. Flushed appear ance
c. Throb bing temples
d. Inatten tiveness
e. Inability to think coherently
f. Ringing in the ears
g. Tightness across the chest
h. Headache
i. Drowsiness
j. Incoherence
k. Nausea
l. Dizziness
m. Fatigue
n. Vomiting
o. Collapse
p. Convulsions
IF YOU THINK EXHAUST FUMES ARE
ENTER ING YOUR BOAT, DETERMINE
THE CAUSE AND HAVE IT CORRECT ED
IMMEDI ATELY!
The following suggestions can help prevent ex haust
fumes from entering the boat:
1. DO NOT allow the boat to remain stationary with
the engine running for an extended period of time.
Do not stand or swim near the exhaust output or
jet nozzle(s) when the engine is idling.
2. Use extreme caution while operating the en gine in
confined areas such as enclosed slips or congest-
ed piers. Operation under such conditions could
easily lead to exhaust gas ses (carbon mon-
ox ide) entering even though you may have all the
hatches, win dows, doors and portholes closed.
3. Persons sleeping can be easily overcome by
carbon monoxide because they are unaware of its
presence. Sleeping while the engine is running is
not recom mended. If persons are sleeping aboard
while underway, those awake should monitor for
carbon mon oxide accumu lation in the cabin;
especially the sleeping areas.
NEVER operate the propulsion engine while
everyone onboard is sleeping. Fatal carbon
monoxide poison ing can occur.
For additional information, refer to Section A-11
Carbon Monoxide.
C. Jet Nozzle(s)
A jet boat moves over the water by a jet of water
forced through the jet nozzle(s). Unlike a boat that
uses a propeller, a jet boat draws the water from
under the boat through an intake grate(s) into a
pump(s) inside the boat. The water is then forced
through a nozzle(s) at the stern of the boat. The boat’s
jet thrust can cause injury. Always accelerate slowly,
and decelerate in a controlled fashion.
In shallow water, proceed with caution and at very low
speeds. Grounding or abrupt stops may result in injury
to you, your passengers or others. The jet pump may
pick up debris and throw it rearward causing a risk of
injuring people or damaging the jet pump or other
property.
Avoid personal injury! Do not allow anyone near the
jet pump or intake grate, even when the engine is off.
AVOID SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH
Do not swim near boat, board from rear or use
swim platform if engine (s) is running.
Water and/or debris exiting the jet nozzle can
cause severe injury including internal injuries if
water is forced into body cavities. (rectum or
vagina)
Keep people, clothing and hair away from
intake grates to avoid entanglement or
drowning.
B - 4 INSTRUMENTATION
The helm on Scarab models are equipped with a multi-
function, center style information gauge. See Figures
B7, B8 & B9. This center gauge allows the boat opera-
tor the ability to monitor several key pieces of information
such as fuel level, fuel consumption, tachometer(s), GPS
speed, hour meter, compass, low oil pressure, volt,
