Know your abilities, and be sure you understand how your boat handles under the different boating conditions you may encounter.
U69J14E0.book Page 5 Friday, March 12, 2004 10:20 AM General information driving your boat. These rules are used internationally, and are also enforced by the United States Coast Guard and local agencies. You should be aware of these rules, and follow them whenever you encounter another vessel on the water. Several sets of rules prevail according to geographic location, but are all basically the same as the International Rules of the Road.
U69J14E0.book Page 6 Friday, March 12, 2004 10:20 AM General information Meeting If you are meeting another power vessel head on, and are close enough to run the risk of collision, neither of you has the right-of-way! Both of you should alter course to avoid an accident. You should keep the other vessel on your port (left) side. This rule doesn’t apply if both of you will clear one another if you continue on your set course and speed.
U69J14E0.book Page 7 Friday, March 12, 2004 10:20 AM General information Fishing vessel right-of-way All vessels which are fishing with nets, lines or trawls are considered to be “fishing vessels” under the International Rules. Vessels with trolling lines are not considered fishing vessels. Fishing vessels have the right-of-way regardless of position. Fishing vessels cannot, however, impede the passage of other vessels in narrow channels.

Gasoline blends have been changing in recent years in response to concerns about pollution and resulting emissions regulations. One of the most obvious changes has been the elimination of lead from most fuels.
U69J14E0.book Page 31 Friday, March 12, 2004 10:20 AM Operation ● NOTE: The start-in-gear protection device prevents the engine from starting except when in neutral. Avoid accidentally pulling the lanyard during normal operation. Loss of engine power means the loss of most steering control. Also, without engine power, the boat could slow rapidly. This could cause people and objects in the boat to be thrown forward. N OFF ON START OFF ON START ZMU04588 2.

EWM00740 ● Use the power tilt switch located on the bottom engine cowling (if equipped) only when the boat is at a complete stop with the engine off. WARNING Excessive trim for the operating conditions (either trim up or trim down) can cause boat instability and can make steering the boat more difficult.
U69J14E0.book Page 36 Friday, March 12, 2004 10:20 AM Operation EMU27911 Adjusting boat trim When the boat is on plane, a bow-up attitude results in less drag, greater stability and efficiency. This is generally when the keel line of the boat is up about 3 to 5 degrees. With the bow up, the boat may have a greater tendency to steer to one side or the other. Compensate for this as you steer. The trim tab can also be adjusted to help offset this effect.
