 Operate defensively at safe speeds and
keep a safe distance away from people,
objects, and other boats to give you time 152 m (498 ft)
to stop.
 Do not shut the engines off when slow-
ing down in case you need engine power
to steer away from a boat or other ob-
stacle that comes into your path.
 You will lose steering control if you com-
pletely pull the remote control levers

tance after the remote control levers are
moved back to idle. The stopping distance is
different depending on the model.
