Section 7

Running

Nautique urges you and all others operating your boat to seek certified instruction from the local boating authorities.

This section is designed to present the most basic operational principles. It is NOT intended to cover all conditions encountered during operation. Therefore, the principles in this manual are limited to the facts related directly to the operation of your boat, while the responsibility for the proper application of these principles belongs to you.

The Hydro-Gate is engaged by moving the SportShift lever located at the helm’s starboard-side fore and disengaged by moving the lever aft. The SportShift and Hydro-Gate can be used at any speed or at rest. Refer to Section 4 – Hydro-Gate Control and SportShift.
