Boating with passengers
WARNING
When passengers are on board, make
sure they are seated and holding onto the
handgrips, handrails, or straps before you
start to accelerate. An unprepared passen-
ger could lose balance and fall.
Your boat is designed for one operator and up
to 9 passengers only. Never have more than
10 people in the boat. Passengers must sit in
one of the seats and hold onto the handgrips.
Passengers should sit so the weight in the
boat is balanced from side-to-side and bow-
to-stern as much as possible. If the passenger
seat in front of the helm is used, be sure the
operator’s view ahead is not obstructed.
Stopping the boat
WARNING
● Allow adequate stopping distance.
● Take early action to avoid collisions. Re-
member, boats do not have brakes.
● Operate defensively at safe speeds and
keep a safe distance away from people,
objects, and other boats to give you time
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 obsta-
cle that comes into your path.
● You will lose steering control if you
completely pull the remote control le-
vers back to idle. You need throttle to
steer.
● Do not use the reverse function to slow
down or stop the boat from planing
speed as it could cause you to lose con-
trol, be ejected, or impact the steering
wheel or other parts of the boat. This
could increase the risk of serious injury.
The boat is not equipped with a separate
braking system. It is stopped by water resis-
tance after the remote control levers are
moved back to idle. From full speed, the boat
stops in approximately 105 m (344 ft) for the
AR210 / SX210 or 140 m (459 ft) for the
212X / 212 Limited S / 212 Limited after the
remote control levers are moved back to idle.
The stopping distance varies depending on
gross weight, water surface conditions, and
wind direction. The stated straight-line stop-
ping distance should be used for a reference.
The boat slows down as soon as the remote
control levers are returned to idle but will
coast for a distance before fully stopping. If
you are not sure you can stop in time before
