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.
SHIFTING AND SPEED CONTROL
IMPORTANT: Carefully check the function of all
control and engine systems before leaving the
dock. DO NOT shift the engine into FORWARD or
REVERSE while it is shut off. If the following direc-
tions are not suitable for your boat’s control, see
your DEALER before proceeding.
Shifting
With engine running and control handle in NEU-
TRAL:
Side Mount and Concealed Side Mount Control
Unlock the control handle (lift the neutral lock tab by
squeezing the hand grip). Briskly and decisively,
move the control handle fore or aft — until it engag-
es the gear detent.
Engine temperature will determine the length of the
period of fast idle after start-up — the warmer the
engine, the shorter the period of fast idle.

Start-up (Warm Engine)
Follow Start-up (Cold Engine) procedure except
warm engines do not normally require priming. If
your engine fails to start, then prime.

IMPORTANT: Immediately after the warm engine
starts, the QuikStart electronic starting system will
hold the engine at fast idle for about 5 seconds,
then will automatically reduce it to normal idle
speed.
