6.5. Starting the engine
1. Switch the power on using the main power switch.
2. Lower the engine to the driving position by pressing the Power Trim button on the gear/ throttle
handle.
3. Check that the gear/throttle handle is in the neutral position and that the emergency switch is
attached to the bottom of the remote control.
4. Switch on the current, using the start key, without starting the engine and wait a few seconds for
the warning lights to light up.
5. Start the engine by turning the ignition key clockwise until the engine starts. If everything is in
order, the engine should start within 1-2 seconds. If the engine does not start, you should not try
to start it for more than 10 seconds at a time.
6. After the engine has started, let it idle for a few minutes before setting off. (Please refer to the
engine manual!)
For more detailed information, please refer to the engine manual.
6.6. Driving
It is easy to drive when the weather is fine and the sea is calm. However, always remember to keep
an adequate lookout. In order to maintain the best possible visibility from the driver’s position, you
should do this:
- Ensure that passengers do not restrict your visibility.
- Do not drive near planing speed for long periods, as the bow up comes up and reduces visibility.
- When visibility is poor, look over the windshield.
- remember to also keep a lookout behind you, particularly on shipping lanes Use navigation lights
in darkness.
Always adjust your speed to prevailing conditions and the environment. Take into account the fol-
lowing:
- waves (also consult the passengers on what is a comfortable speed);
- your own bow wake (greatest at planing speed, smallest at speeds under 5 knots);
- visibility (islands, fog, rain, driving against the sun);
- familiarity with the route (time required for navigation);
- width of the route (other traffic, noise and bow wake near shore).
- Make sure to always maintain a sufficient distance to avoid collision. The distance must be
sufficient to stop the boat or to take evasive action.
When running at low speed, a planing boat’s directional stability is poorer than at higher speeds. So
be careful in narrow passages and, particularly, when meeting other boats.
You must learn the rules of traffic on sea lanes and follow the international regulations on how to
avoid collisions at sea, COLREG. Navigate with care and use new or updated nautical charts.
The running position of the boat greatly affects its handling characteristics and
fuel consumption and visibility from the driver’s position. You can affect the running position by:
- placing the load properly – the general rule being that you should place as little weight in the
bow as possible; and
- adjusting the trim angle.
