Choking the Engine

Close the choke by rotating the small yellow tubing extension.

This is not necessary if the engine is warm.

Pull-starting the Engine

With an assistant holding the boat to the boat

stand and bracing the engine with one hand, pull

the starting cord briskly several times. Once the engine fires

(begins to start), partially open the choke. Prolonged choking

will flood the engine with fuel until the engine warms up. See

Section 15: Troubleshooting Guide to correct the flooding

condition.

Idle the boat near shore and press the kill switch located on

the hull as shown.

Propeller Trim Angle

You may also adjust the propeller strut to add up or down

trim to the propeller by loosening the 2 propeller strut bolts

and sliding the propeller strut up to increase top-end speed

(but steering response will decrease and cavitation may occur

if excessively adjusted). Lowering the trim angle will increase

handling performance (but may cause the boat to over-steer

and decrease speed).
