(5) Put the remote control lever in the neutral
position. The starter motor will not oper-
ate unless the remote control lever is in
neutral. Turn the main switch key to the
start position and release it when the en-
gine starts. If the engine does not start
after 5 seconds of cranking, release the
key. Wait at least 15 seconds before try-
ing to start the engine again.
NOTICE
Never turn the main switch key to the
start position while the engine is run-
ning. The starter mechanism could be
damaged.
If the starter motor is engaged continu-
ously for more than 5 seconds, the bat-
tery will become quickly discharged and
it will be impossible to start the engine.
The starter motor may also be damaged
if it is engaged continuously for more
than 5 seconds.
On this boat, the engine is connected directly
to the drive unit. Starting the engine gener-
ates some thrust immediately. Only enough
throttle should be applied to keep the engine
at a fast enough idle to stay running.
Stopping the engine
WARNING
Once the engine has stopped, you have
NO STEERING CONTROL over the boat.
You could collide with another boat, a
dock, or other obstacle.
Stopping the engine immediately after oper-
ating at high engine speeds is not recom-
mended. Let the engine cool off at idle or low
speed for a few minutes first.
To stop the engine:
(1) Return the remote control lever to the
neutral position.
(2) Turn the main switch key to the off posi-
tion.
