OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Above idle speed, the throttles must
be applied to turn the boat.
WARNING
Throttle must be applied and steer-
ing turned to change the direction
of the boat at speed. Steering effi-
ciency will differ depending on the
number of passengers, load and
water conditions.
A jet propelled boat needs some throt-
tle applied in order to turn. Practice in
a safe area applying the throttle and
turning away from an imaginary object.
This is a good collision avoidance prac-
tice.
Leaving the Shore
With throttle lever in idle position,
move shifter lever to the desired po-
sition.
Slowly
accelerate to reach deeper wa-
ter. Do not apply full throttle until the
engines are warm.
WARNING
In shallow water, shells, sand,
pebbles or other objects could be
drawn up by the jet pumps and
thrown rearward.
Rough Water or Poor
Visibility Operation
Avoid operation in these conditions. If
you must do so, proceed with caution
and prudence using minimum speed.
Turn on navigation lights if necessary.
Crossing Waves
Reduce speed when crossing waves.
Always be prepared to steer and bal-
ance as necessary.
When crossing wakes, always keep a
safe distance from boat ahead.
WARNING
When crossing wakes, slow down.
Operator and passenger(s) can
brace themselves by posting. Do
not jump waves or wakes.
Stopping/Docking
The boat is slowed by water drag. The
stopping distance will vary depending
on the boat's size, speed, water sur-
face condition, presence and direction
of wind and current.
The operator should become familiar-
ized with the stopping distance under
different conditions.
Reduce throttle speed to idle. Shift to
neutral, reverse or forward as required
when approaching a dock then shut off
the engines just before coming along-
side.
WARNING
Directional
control
is
reduced
when throttle is decreased and lost
when engines are off.
When close to the dock, shut off the
engines.
Beaching
NOTICE
It is not recommended to
run the boat onto the beach.
Slowly approach the beach and shut
off the engines using the DESS key
when water depth is 90 cm (3 ft) under
the hull, then pull the boat to the beach.
Ensure that all accessories are OFF.
