NOTICE
Avoid quick turns or acceleration when leav-
ing the dock, or you might hit the dock and
damage the watercraft. The operator should
make sure there is room for a turn before
making any quick maneuvers.
•
Accelerate gradually as you proceed into open wa-
ter. Remember to observe “No Wake” zones and
speed limits.
•
As speed increases the boat will level out in the
water. This is called planing.
•
Once the boat has planed, you can back off the
throttle and select your desired speed.
•
Keep alert for other boats, swimmers, or obstruc-
tions in your path.
Launching from a Ramp
•
Before putting the watercraft in the water, be sure
you have followed the Pre-ride Checklist.
•
Before launching, check the ramp for suitable sur-
face conditions, inclination and width for both the
trailer and tow vehicle.
•
Attach a bow line to the watercraft and detach the
trailer tie-downs.
NOTICE
If the screws come loose the craft may flood
or become swamped, with the possibility of
sinking or severe engine damage. To prevent
swamping, be sure the screws are securely
tightened before launching.
•
Wait until it’s your turn then back the trailer to the
water. Unlock the winch and push the craft slowly
off the trailer into the water.
•
Move your watercraft to a docking or loading area
