Instructions

                    Engine operation is a component of  Verify that the
                        is oiled using
                        at a ratio of 50:1 and that the trip has an effective process of insuring that only oiled
                        is used.

                    The engine is heavy and its easy to cause injury or damage if
                    it is dropped.  Ensure it is always carefully carried by two strong people on the .  Make sure
                    the engine is properly screwed on.

                    The start procedure depends upon ambient temperature see  In essance below 15 degrees C put the choke on and turn the engine over until the engine coughs and then remove the choke to start the engine.
                    Over 15 degrees C pull the starter cord once with the choke on and then remove the choke to start the engine.  If it doesn't start then start to  .  Once
                    started the engine should run for 3 mins before going to high speed. 


                        The  should be worn whenever the engine is in gear.
                        Don't overrev, use minimal required power
                    to keep the boat on the plane.The  should have been selected
                    so that it is most efficient when the boats most need power i.e. when they are trying to get
                    onto the plane with heavily laden divers.  The boats need less power if they start to plane
                    or lightly laden and a different  would be better at such time - but obviously it cannot be changed whilst the engine is running.  Consequently
                    at times the  on the boat is too low a gear and will allow the engine to be 
                    be overreved and doing so will damage the engine and the handler must take care.

                    The engine may be stopped at any time by pulling out the .  But if the
                     engine is to be left overnight or longer its sensible to train the carb of fuel by removing the fuel line
