5. Turn ignition key to START, pressing choke if required. Release key

and allow to return to RUN after engine starts. If engine fails to start,

wait one minute. Move throttle only once to maximum position then

back to the neutral position. Try to start engine again.

Note: Transmission must be in neutral position before engine will

turn over.

Important: Do not operate starter continuously for more than 15

seconds without pausing. Allow starter to cool at least three min-

utes between start attempts.

6. Warm up a cold engine by running it at fast idle speed (as recom-

mended in engine manual) approximately one to two minutes.

Leaving the Dock

After the engine has warmed up, you are ready to leave the dock. Before

you cast off, check all gauges for proper readings. Check the operation of

the steering by turning the steering wheel to full port and to full starboard

while observing engine movement. Check that charging system is work-

ing properly. Check again for fuel and oil leaks.

When you are sure your boat is ready, check wind, tide, current or other

forces that will affect the way you maneuver your boat away from the

dock. The cast off mooring lines and stow fenders.

DANGER: Carbon Monoxide Hazard! A cold engine produces

more carbon monoxide than a warm engine. Provide adequate

ventilation in the cabin and cockpit to prevent exposure and re-

duce the possibility of carbon monoxide accumulation. Open all

hatches, doors, windows, and side vents to increase air move-

ment

Shift your boat’s engine into forward or reverse depending on whether

you want to move the bow or the stern away from the dock ﬁ rst. Move the

throttle lever to neutral position. Then push forward quickly and ﬁ rmly to

shift into forward gear or backward to shift to reverse. Your engine should

be running at a slow speed as you move away from the dock. If you move

the bow out ﬁ rst, watch that the swim platform does not swing into the

dock or a piling.

Getting Up To Cruising Speed

After slowly motoring from the dock area to open water, you can safely

accelerate to cruising speed. Advance throttle to setting which provides

your desired engine speed (RPMs). As you move the throttle forward,

engine RPMs increase, and your boat moves faster through the water.

Important: Acceleration at full throttle is not recommended during

the engine “break-in period.” This “break-in period” coincides with

the engine “20-hour check-up.” Do not attempt full throttle accelera-

tion during the ﬁ rst 20 hours of operation.

When you throttle up and accelerate, your boat increases the trim angle

and causes the boat to ride bow-high. From a maximum angle, the boat

levels out to its planing attitude as you continue to accelerate. (Figure

5.2)

The maximum angle is commonly known as the “hump.” You should get

over the hump as quickly as possible because visibility, handling, and

performance are limited until you do. Only a few seconds at full throt-
