Section 10

OS 315

• Alcohol and any mind altering chemicals

can severely reduce your reaction time

and affect your better judgment.

• Alcohol reduces the ability to react.

• Alcohol makes it difficult to judge speed

and distance or track moving objects.

• Alcohol reduces night vision and ability

to distinguish red from green.

STAY ALERT. The use of alcohol or any

other mind altering chemicals that impair

judgment, pose a serious threat to you and

others. The boat operator is responsible for

their consequences and behavior of passen-

gers.

Avoid sea conditions that are beyond the

skill and experience of you and your crew.

Make sure at least one other person

onboard is instructed in the operation of the

boat and it is operated in compliance with all

state and local laws.

DO NOT operate the boat unless it is com-

pletely assembled. Make sure all fasteners

are tight and adjustments are to specifica-

tions.

Before operating the boat for the first time,

read the engine break-in procedures. Refer

to the engine owner’s manual. Since differ-

ent types of engines are used, have your

dealer describe the operating procedures for

your boat. For more instructions on “How to

Operate the Boat,” read the instructions

given to you for your engines.

For more instructions on safety, equipment

and boat handling, enroll in one of the sev-

eral free boating courses offered. For infor-

mation on the courses offered in your area,

call the “Boating Safety Hotline,” 800-368-

5647.

If the drive unit hits an underwater object,

stop the engine. Inspect drive unit for dam-

age. If damaged contact your dealer for a

complete inspection and repair of the unit.

Stopping the Boat

• Allow engines to drop to the idle speed.

• Shift controls to NEUTRAL.

If the engines have been run at high speed

for a long period of time, allow engines to

cool by running at idle for 3 to 5 minutes.

• Turn the ignition keys "OFF."

• Raise the trim tabs to full “UP” position.

After operation:

• If operated in saltwater, wash the boat

and all equipment with soap and water.

Flush the engines using fresh water.

Refer to the engine owner's manual for

instructions on flushing.

• Check the bilge area for debris and

excess water.

• Fill the fuel tanks to near full to reduce

condensation. Allow room in the tanks

for the fuel to expand without being

forced out the vent.

• Turn off all electrical equipment except

the automatic bilge pumps.

• If you are going to leave the boat unat-

tended for a long period of time, put the

battery main switches to “OFF” and

close all seacocks.

• Make sure the boat is securely moored.

! WARNING

IMPAIRED OPERATION HAZARD

Operating any boat while intoxicated

or under the influence of other drugs

can cause death or serious injury. DO

NOT operate any boat under the influ-

ence of any mind-altering chemical.

! CAUTION

Turn off engines at idle speed. Racing

the engine before switching it off can

draw water into the engine through

the exhaust, resulting in internal dam-

age.
