Launching & Boarding Your Pwc; Launching From A Ramp - Honda ARX1500T3DX Owner's Manual

Launching & Boarding Your PWC
How you board your PWC is affected by
water depth and whether or not you plan to
carry a passenger or two. Once you (and any
passengers) are on board, check that your
path is clear of other boats, swimmers, or
obstacles. Slowly increase throttle as you
head toward open water.
