OPERATION
Starting the Engine
SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH MAY RESULT IF YOU IGNORE ANY OF THE FOLLOWING:
•
Before operating your Skeeter boat, become familiar with all controls. Consult your Skeeter Dealer about any
control or function you do not fully understand.
• Attach the engine stop cord (lanyard) to a secure place on your clothing, or your arm or leg and keep it free
from steering wheel or other controls so that the engine stops if the operator accidentally leaves the helm.
Failure to attach the engine stop cord could result in a runaway boat if the operator is ejected.
• Check throttle and steering for proper operation before starting the engine.
• Shift into Neutral before starting engine.
• Never start the engine or let it run any length of time in an enclosed area. Exhaust fumes contain carbon
monoxide, a colorless, odorless gas that may cause loss of consciousness and death within a short time.
Always operate the boat in an open area.
1. There is a hull drain plug at the bottom of the stern in the center. Be sure it is securely tightened before
launching the boat.
2. Attach the engine stop cord to your PFD. Install the cord clip onto the engine stop switch by pushing the clip
groove over the nut beneath the knob. Be sure the cord is not wrapped around the steering wheel or tangled
in the controls.
