Follow these procedures only when conditions are such that you can drive the boat safely. ! WARNING CAUTION Do not attempt to break in an engine by letting it idle at the dock. Propeller Selection The maximum rpm of the engine at full throttle under normal load conditions can be controlled by propeller pitch, diameter and design. It is essential the propeller does not underload or overload the engine. Propeller Overloading, results in low rpms at wide open throttle will give poor performance, poor fuel economy and eventually result in engine damage. Propeller Underloading, if operated with a propeller that has too little pitch or diameter, poor performance will result. Sport 6-11 Nautique Sport Sec 6.qxd 11/19/04 4:08 PM Page 6-12 Section 6 NOTICE Running your boat in shallow water can cause propeller shaft, strut, propeller and rudder damage and sand and silt to be pulled into the cooling system. This will cause excessive water pump wear and can clog the water passages in the engine. Heavy weed growth in the water can plug the raw water strainer and oil coolers and cause engine damage. There is a raw water strainer located near the rear of the engine to strainer the water before it goes into the transmission cooler and then the engine. Check this every time you use your boat to make sure it is not clogged. Refer to Section 1, Hazardous Conditions, Boating Safety. If the engine fails to start or is not operating properly, contact your Correct Craft dealer for assistance. Shifting Before shifting, make sure there are no swimmers or obstacles in the water near you. ! WARNING Keep the control lever clean and clear of obstructions. Refer to your engine operator and maintenance manual for shifting information. Always pause in NEUTRAL before shifting from reverse to forward and from forward to reverse. Steering Practice steering your boat. Make sure the steering system is working correctly and is properly maintained. The steering system must be in good operating condition for safe boating. Frequent inspection, lubrication and adjustment by your Correct Craft dealer is recommended. ! WARNING 6-12 Correct Craft, Inc. Nautique Sport Sec 6.qxd 11/19/04 4:08 PM Page 6-13 Getting Underway Stopping Stopping the engine immediately after operating at high speed is not recommended. Allow the engine a 2-3 minute cool-down period at idle or low speed. Refer to your engine operator and maintenance manual for stopping information. Docking Do not use your hands, arms or another part of your body to attempt to keep the boat from hitting the dock.The boat could push against the dock, causing severe injury. ! DANGER ! Approach a dock slowly and use caution. Plan your maneuvers ahead of time. Allow wind and current movement to help maneuver your boat. Come to a stop a short distance from the dock, then proceed slowly. • Have your fenders and mooring lines ready. • Observe how the wind and current are moving your boat. Approach the dock with the boat pointed into the wind, if possible. • If possible, throw a line to a person on the dock and have that person secure a bow line. If no one is on the dock, maneuver as close as you can, then secure any line to a piling or dock cleat. Before tying up your boat, be sure to use enough fenders to protect the boat from damage. If possible, tie up the bow toward the waves with a good quality double-braided nylon line. Tie up only to the lifting, tie down eyes or cleats; DO NOT use the handrails or windshield frame. If the boat is to be moored for a long period of time, use chafing protectors on the lines to protect the gelcoat finish. Leave a little slack in the lines to allow for some wave movement or tidal action is applicable. When departing, cast off the bow line and move away. If the wind or current is pushing away from the dock, cast off all lines and allow to drift until you are clear.
