Operating Your Tender

WARNING. This boat uses a water jet propulsion system which may exceed the
performance and behave differently to other boats you have operated in the past.
At slower speeds, maneuverability is reduced.
WARNING. The Operator of this boat must be of a suitable age and competence,
have read and understood the owner's manual and safety labels, have been
familiarised with the correct use of this boat, possess knowledge of basic seamanship
and hold the necessary qualifications as required under law.
WARNING. Never permit a guest to operate this boat unless the guest is of suitable
age and competence, has read and understood the owner's manual and safety
labels, has been familiarised with the correct use of this boat, possesses knowledge of
basic seamanship and holds the necessary qualifications as required under law.
WARNING. Never exceed maximum passenger capacity under any circumstances;
doing so reduces stability and control.
WARNING. Always wear the appropriate buoyancy aid and ensure all passengers do
the same.
WARNING. Always operate prudently according to visibility and water conditions.
WARNING. Never operate the boat under the influence of drugs or alcohol. They will
slow down reaction time and impair judgment.
WARNING. Never perform high speed and extreme maneuvers which could result in
loss of control.
WARNING. Always attach the safety lanyard to your leg. Removal of the lanyard will
stop the engine in the event of an emergency. Always test the operation of the lanyard
each time you use your boat.
This boat uses a water-jet propulsion system and has unique characteristics in steering. The
throttle produces thrust from the jet pump, the directional control is provided by opening the
throttle and turning the wheel in the direction of your turn. High thrust will turn the boat sharply;
low thrust will produce less turning force. There is no rudder, so while underway there is no
steering without thrust.
Maneuverability is severely restricted with reduced throttle or while

decelerating.
After running tender at high speeds it is important to allow engine to idle for a minimum of one
minute before switching off to allow turbo to cool.
If weed or debris gets caught in the jet unit during use cavitation can occur causing a decrease
in forward thrust. If there is any sign of debris or weeds etc. blocking the jet, remove the boat
from the water. Switch off battery isolator and remove all debris from around the jet unit.
DO NOT make repeated attempts to crank a blocked or jammed jet pump as trans-
mission damage may result. In case of difficulty consult your Williams authorized dealer.
