“Bow Down” puts more of the bow in the water. This gives the water vehicle more “hook”, which enhances turning perfor- mance. This position will also help the water vehicle get up on plane more quick- ly. At higher speeds, however, the water vehicle will have greater tendency to “bow steer” and follow waves and wakes in the water. Fuel economy and maximum speed are also reduced.

Shifting to “Bow Up”

“Bow Up” puts less of the bow in the water. There is less water resistance, so straight-ahead acceleration when on plane and top speed are enhanced. In some conditions, however, the vehicle may tend to “porpoise” (hop in the water). If the vehicle is porpoising, choose Neutral or Bow Down trim.

OVERHEAT WARNING SYSTEM

The engine has an overheat warning device. If the engine starts to overheat, the overheat warning symbol/indicator begins to blink, the buzzer sounds, and the engine speed will be limited to about 3,000 r/min.

If this happens, check for water discharge at the cooling water pilot outlet(s). If there is no discharge of water, beach the vehicle and check the jet intake grille and impeller for clogging.
