Braking
WARNING
EWM01510
● Do not use the reverse function to slow
down or stop the boat as it could cause
you to lose control, be ejected, or impact
the steering wheel or other parts of the
boat. This could increase the risk of se-
rious injury. It could also damage the
shift mechanism.
● Do not shift into reverse while traveling
at planing speeds. Loss of control, boat
swamping, or damage to the boat could
occur.
The boat is not equipped with a separate
braking system. It is stopped by water resis-
tance after the throttle lever is moved back to
idle. The stopping distance varies depending
on gross weight, water surface conditions,
and wind direction.
