After Engine Starts
ENGINE STOPPING
DO NOT turn the key switch to START while the en-
gine is running. Damage to the starter system could
result.
If the engine starts but needs more fuel to prevent
stalling, briefly push the key in several times until
the engine warms and runs smoothly.
Move control handle to NEUTRAL.
Turn key switch counterclockwise to OFF. Remove
the key when the boat will be unattended.
To avoid difficulty when restarting, never stop the
engine by running it with the fuel hose disconnected
or otherwise running it out of fuel.
Allow the engine to idle in NEUTRAL for about 5
minutes to warm up before shifting.
IMPORTANT: To avoid engine damage, after start-
up do not exceed 2000 RPM in NEUTRAL. Do not
exceed 1500 RPM in NEUTRAL for extended peri-
ods of time.
Check the water pump indicator. A steady stream of
water  indicates  the  water  pump  is  working.  If  a
steady stream of water from the water pump indica-
tor is not visible, stop the engine. Refer to  Engine
Overheating.

control  and  engine   systems  before  leaving  the
dock. DO NOT shift the engine into FORWARD or

rections are not suitable for your boat’s control, see
your DEALER before proceeding.
