STOPPING
The Sport Boat is not equipped with a
separate braking system. It is stopped
by water resistance after the throttle
levers are moved back to idle. From full
speed, the Sport Boat stops in approx-
imately 345 ft. (105 m) after the throttle
is moved back to idle. The stopping dis-
tance varies depending on gross
weight, water surface conditions, and
wind direction. The stated straight-line
stopping distance should be used for a
reference. The boat slows down as
soon as the throttle levers are returned
to idle but will coast for a distance
before fully stopping. If you are not sure
you can stop in time before hitting an
obstacle, apply throttle and turn in
another direction.
You will lose steering control if you
completely pull the throttle levers
back to idle.
DOCKING
1) Make sure no obstructions, boats or
swimmers are close to the Sport
Boat. Come to a stop before you
reach the dock.
2) Notice how wind and water currents
are affecting boat movement as you
attach your mooring lines and fenders.
3) Approach the dock at idle speed.
Use reverse as necessary during
slow speed maneuvering to help
control speed and direction.
Position the boat according to wind
and water conditions.
Do not use your hand, arm, or other
part of your body to try to keep the
boat from hitting the dock. You
could be injured if the boat pushes
against the dock.
Wind or current pushing boat away
from dock:
Slowly approach the dock at about a
45° angle. Secure the bow to the dock,
then use engine thrust or a boat hook
to gently move the stern to the dock.
1) Be sure engines are off, then move
to the stern of the boat. Pull out the
ladder and climb up onto the step.
Return the ladder to the stowed
position before climbing into the
boat.
Stay away from the swim step while
the engines are running. Exhaust
gases coming from underneath it
contain carbon monoxide, a color-
less, odorless gas which may cause
brain damage or death when
inhaled. Symptoms include nausea,
dizziness, and drowsiness.
2) Climb up onto the swim platform,
then sit in one of the seats provided.
BOARDING FROM A DOCK OR
LANDING JETTY
1) Board the boat from the side. One
person should board at a time by
stepping into the boat. Never jump
in. Avoid stepping on slick gelcoat
surfaces on the boat’s gunwales,
especially if wet.
2) Sit in one of the seats provided and
put both feet on the deck.
