Is starter key for console-remote start? My motor is tiller with electric starter. Starter directly wired to battery, shared with trolling motor.

Checking gas level should be added. Thanks. What is 手动泵 for?

[肥彁]

gas tank vent 存放时是打开吗？
Ensure "OFF" position 不是放到前进档吗，这样走高速时，螺旋桨不会动？
我怎么只有两条chain? can you show the picture of the nose one?

thanks.

[Sergeantpepper]

It's cheap to keep a spare plug onboard too ....you'll never know

i already knew.

那天油很满，温度也高，油箱的肚子大很多，明显有油露出来。如果不开有安全隐患。但是在路上可别忘了关上，否则油可能呼右出来。

That's a good practice having the prop shaft geared while on the run..shaft running dry may damage the shaft seal, so suggested some mechanics

"OFF" position means "Kill switch" position to prevent from starting by accidentally touching start button. My boat has redundancy measures to secure boat nose-one winch belt for tight nose against trailer bar and one metal snap hook for backup in case of belt broke due to aging or emergency.

two locks, one for trailer (ball head) and one for ball mount.

[Sergeantpepper]

Yeah one for the coupler too....
but you can use an ordinary padlock for that purpose
