I'm doing research for a story I'm writing, and I need to know specifically about a pontoon boat. Like, a really old one, really small. I would like to know how to start it, and maybe how fast they go? I've been on something similar before, but I'm not so sure it was actually a pontoon.How do you start a Pontoon?
Tessa had to get away. She ran to the old Starcraft Pontoon boat, untied it as she lept aboard. She quickly squeezed the fuel bulb enough times to get gas to the old Johnson 10 horse. No electric start on this old tub, she made sure the shift lever was in neutral, pushed the throttle forward, pulled the choke and gave the starter cord a strong pull. The trusty old motor sprang to life, she pushed in the choke, ran to the drivers seat, shifted into forward and jammed the throttle (lever all the way forward. The motor made a lot of noise and the little pontoon took off, quickly reaching its top speed of 13 miles per hour. (no key needed on old manual start motor)
Prime the motor by squeezing the rubber bulb in the fuel line.
engage the choke lever
Pull the rope on top of the outboard motor
They used to go about 10-15 miles an hour. Faster today.How do you start a Pontoon?
You either pull the rope as mentioned previously or turn the key(s).
It's that simple.
