Use of drain plug

Your boat is equipped with a drain plug installed 
on the transom. When driving the boat, open 
the plug to drain the water on the floor. The 
water will automatically be drained by venturi 
effect. When launching the boat or stopping on 
the water, we recommend you keep the plug 
sealed. When the boat is lifted, stowed, stored, 
not used, or transported, drain plug shall remain 
open to drain any water that could fill the deck.

Close

Open

Caution

Keep the drains open when the boat is kept outside of the water. The rain water could fill 
the boat and create stress and damage.

Danger

Do not open the drain plug when the boat is afloat but not in motion. 

Load distribution

Please refer to the maximum number of passengers and load capacity of the boat in this manual 
or on the manufacturer’s plate. Do not exceed the maximum number.
Position the passengers and distribute the load evenly in the boat to help counterbalance the 
weight of the outboard.
In rough waters, load can be moved forward to ease the motion of the craft.

Performance

To achieve best performance, the boat must plane. If the boat does not plane, you may check 
the following:
