starter motor will turn the engine over.
3. Put the throttle lever in the Neutral position. Turn the ignition key to “Start.” When the engine starts, release
the key. Refer to the outboard motor owner’s manual for more information.
Stopping the Engine
To stop the engine, return the throttle levers to the Neutral position, then turn the main switches to “Off.” The
engine can also be stopped by pulling the engine stop switch cord (lanyard).
NOTE
Remove the ignition keys and the engine stop switch cord (lanyard) if the boat will be left unattended.
Stopping the engine immediately after operating at high rpm is not recommended. Let the engine cool
off at idle or low speed for a few minutes first.
OPERATION
Once the engine has stopped, you have very little steering control over the boat.
You could collide with another boat, a dock, or other obstacle.
