Beaching
NOTICE
Small pebbles, sand, seaweed, and oth-
er debris can be sucked into the jet in-
takes and impair or damage the
impellers. Always stop the engines be-
fore beaching the boat. Be sure the boat
is in water 90cm (3 ft) deep from the
bottom of the boat before starting the
engines again.
Do not beach the boat on rocky beach-
es. The hull gelcoat and exposed pump
housings can be damaged.
Pay attention to shifts in tides. Beaching
at high tide may make it impossible to
re-launch the boat if the tide recedes.
(1) Make sure no obstructions, boats, or
swimmers are near the beach.
(2) Approach the beach slowly and stop the
engines when the water is about 90 cm
(3 ft) deep from the bottom of the boat.
Remember: turning is impossible with
the engines stopped.
(3) Get out of the boat and pull the bow up
on the beach.
(4) When leaving the beach, push the boat
out into water that is at least 90 cm (3 ft)
deep from the bottom of the boat before
starting the engines.
