           z Always attach the engine shut-off cord                      1
            (lanyard) to your PFD before starting the
            engines. Failure to attach the cord could
            result in a runaway boat if the operator is           2
            ejected.
           z Do not attach the cord to clothing that           3
            could tear loose. Do not route the cord
            in such a way that it could become en-  1  Engine shut-off switch
            tangled, preventing it from functioning.   2  Clip

            have stopped, you have no steering con-
            trol of the boat which could result in an
            accident. Also, without  engine power,
            the boat could slow rapidly from planing                       1
            speed. This could cause people and ob-
            jects in the boat to be thrown forward,
            which could cause injury.                                      2

           overboard or leave the helm, the cord will pull  3  Engine shut-off cord (lanyard)
           out the clip, stopping the ignition to the both

                                                This boat uses two marine batteries. One bat-
                                                tery is designated as the start battery. The
                                                start battery is connected to the starter cir-
                                                cuits on both engines to provide current for
                                                the starter motors.
                                                The other battery is designated as the house
                                                battery. The house battery provides power
                                                for the various accessory circuits on the boat,
