Stopping boat
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. Water resistance stops it af-
ter the throttle is closed and the engine re-
turns to idle speed. The stopping distance
varies depending on gross weight, water sur-
face conditions, and wind direction.
