6.1. Controls
You will quickly learn how to control your boat, but changing weather conditions, such as wind and
waves, will always present new challenges for the driver. The remote control combines the func-
tions of throttle, forward and reverse gears, and the adjusting of the engine trim angle. The boat is
equipped with hydraulic steering.
6.2. Emergency switch
The emergency switch is a device with one end attached to the switch under the remote control
and the other end for instance to your lifejacket. The emergency switch automatically switches off
the engine when detached from the remote control. It is very important that the boat will come to
a halt in the event that the driver, for whatever reason, loses his/her balance and is flung from the
helm.
NOTE!
Never take control of the boat without having attached the emergency switch to yourself.
If you attach the emergency switch to your arm, do not steer the boat with that arm, be-
cause the chain may be tangled in the steering wheel during tight turns.
NOTE!
The engine will not start if the emergency switch is not attached to the switch on the re-
mote control.
DANGER!
A rotating propeller presents a life-threatening danger to a swimmer or a person who has
fallen overboard. Always use the emergency switch to turn off the engine when a swim-
mer or water skier is about to re-enter the boat from the water.
6.3. Gearshift and throttle
The engine is put into gear by pushing the button on the gear/throttle handle upwards with your
fingers and by pushing or pulling the gear/throttle lever forward or backward, depending on the di-
rection in which you are planning to go. When the engine is in gear, you can adjust the boat’s speed
using the same gear/throttle lever.
When the boat is travelling forward slowly, you can use the reverse gear for braking when ap-
proaching the dock, for instance. Shifting into reverse must not be done if the boat is travelling at
higher speeds, because it will damage the engine.
6.4. Adjusting of trim angle
These are the main rules when adjusting the trim angle:
- When bringing the boat to plane, keep the ‘bow down’ position
- When the boat is planing and seas are calm, keep lifting the bow until you can feel that both the
engine and the boat move very easily. In calm waters, the engine should normally be trimmed up
at least 3 scale marks on the trim indicator on the revolution counter. If the engine is trimmed up
too much, the speed of the boat will be reduced. If the boat is trimmed too low, the boat will run
slowly and the engine will run heavily. To achieve good fuel economy, it is important to drive the
boat with the right engine trim angle.
- In heavy head seas, lower the bow to allow it to slice through the waves better, thus providing a
smoother ride.
