an open area without obstructions
until you have a good feel for the
maneuver.
l
This Yamaha Boat is water-jet pro-
pelled. The pumps are directly con-
nected to the engines. This means
that the jet thrust will produce some
movement whenever the engines
are running. The boat has a “neu-
tral” position, but since the boat is
always producing thrust while the
engines are running, some forward
or reverse movement may occur.
l
Do not use the reverse function to
slow down or stop the boat as it
could cause you to lose control, be
ejected, or impact the steering
wheel or other parts of the boat.
This could increase the risk of seri-
ous injury. It could also damage the
shift mechanism.
l
Reverse can be used to slow down
or stop during slow speed maneu-
vering, such as when docking. Once
the engine is idling, shift to reverse
and gradually increase engine
speed. Make sure that there are no
obstacles or people behind you
before shifting into reverse.
l
Keep away from the intake grates
while the engine is on. Items such
as long hair, loose clothing, or PFD
straps can become entangled in
moving parts, resulting in severe
injury or drowning.
l
Stop the engines and remove the
clip from the engine shut-off switch
before removing any debris or
weeds, which may have collected
around the jet intakes.
l
Never insert any object into the jet
thrust nozzle while the engine is
running. Severe injury or death
could result from coming in contact
with the rotating parts of the jet
pump.
NIGHT OPERATION
l
When using your boat before dawn
or after dusk, you must have both
bow and stern lights operating.
When at anchor in the dark, the
stern light must be lit. See page
2-14 for instructions.
