WARNING
While the engine can be stopped
using the engine start/stop button,
good habits recommend that the
D.E.S.S. key also be disconnected
when stopping the engine and dis-
embarking.
WARNING
Should the engine be stopped, the
brake function and all watercraft
directional control is lost. Always
disconnect D.E.S.S. key when wa-
tercraft is not in operation in order
to prevent accidental engine start-
ing or to avoid unauthorized use

Digitally Encoded Security System
(D.E.S.S.)
Each D.E.S.S. key contains an elec-
tronic circuit that is programmed to
give it a unique electronic serial num-
ber. This is the equivalent of a conven-
tional key.
The D.E.S.S. system reads the key in-
stalled on the post and only allows en-
gine starting for keys it recognizes.
The D.E.S.S. system brings great
flexibility. You can buy an additional
D.E.S.S. key and have it programmed
for your watercraft.
A total of ten D.E.S.S. keys can be pro
-
grammed.
D.E.S.S. Key Types
Three types of keys can be used:
–Normalkey
– Learning key
– Rental key (sold separately).
Each key has a safety lanyard with float
attached to it. This prevents the key
from sinking should it be dropped in
the water.
To ease key recognition, the key float
comes in different colors.
