Launching the watercraft
When launching the watercraft, make
sure that there are no obstructions around
you.
After the watercraft is in the water, turn it
around so the bow faces the direction you
want to go. Start the engine, and then slowly
move away from the launching area. If there
are waves, someone should make sure that
the watercraft is not pushed into the trailer
after launching the watercraft.
