Operating your boat
The dashboards of our boats are very similar to those
of a car but the control levers are different.
The controls
The control lever engages the propeller to move the boat
forwards or backwards and to accelerate. This same lever,
in the neutral position, also allows the engine to be revved
without engaging the propeller (and so without the boat
moving), which is useful for starting and heating the engine,
or recharging the batteries.
Some boats have dual controls (a steering position on
the upper and lower decks). To change from one steering
position to the other:
Never change positions
while the boat is moving.
stop the boat;
ensure that the two throttle levers (external and internal)
are in the neutral position;
turn the transfer handle a quarter of a turn (Do not force
the system: if it does not work, this is because one of the
levers is not exactly in neutral).
