STOPPING
1. Slowly bring the control lever to the idle position. If the boat has been
driven for a long period of time at high speed, allow the engine a 2-3
minute cool-down period at low idle.
2. Turn the ignition key to the OFF position.
3. If any problems were encountered during the outing, have the boat
inspected by your dealer and request any necessary repairs before the
next outing.
Do not use the engine stop switch for normal shut down. Doing
so may impair your ability to re-start the engine quickly or may
create a hazardous swamping condition.
DOCKING
Practice docking before attempting it for the first time. Use a float, like a
plastic milk jug with a line and small weight, as your docking target.
Never use your hand, arm or other part of your body to attempt
to keep the boat from hitting the dock. The boat could push
against the dock, causing severe injury.
Follow these guidelines when docking:
● Approach docks with the port side of the boat if possible.
● Come to a stop a short distance from the dock, then proceed slowly.
●
Have fenders, mooring lines and crew ready.
●
Observe how the wind and current are moving your boat. Approach the
dock with the boat pointed into the wind, if possible. If the wind or
current is pushing you away from the dock, use a sharper angle of
approach. If you must approach the dock downwind or down current,
use a slow speed and shallow angle. Be ready to reverse to stop and
maintain position.
