many moving parts that could cause
severe personal injury.
When the engine is running, keep your
hands, hair, clothing, etc., away from the
engine.
NOTE:
Be sure to have the starter system repaired as
soon as possible. You should not continue to
use the emergency starting procedure for rou-
tine engine starting.
SHIFTING AND SPEED CONTROL

Severe engine damage may occur if (a)
engine speed is not allowed to return to

boat in reverse.
Always allow the engine speed to return
to idle before shifting. Exercise caution
and use minimal speed when operating
the boat in reverse. Be sure the handle/
shift lever is in the desired position
before accelerating.
