Frequently Asked Questions
We understand that you may come up with a few more questions when operating your new
boat. Below you’ll find the answers to some of the most common questions. If you have any other
questions or concerns, we encourage you to contact your local Legend dealer for further information
or instruction.
My bilge pump won’t turn off. What do I do?
On many models, you can access the bilge pump area through the inspection plate located in the
motor well. Locate the float switch mounted in this area and check for builder’s debris that may have
lodged under the float. Remove any debris and test the float function by moving it up and down.
The bilge pump should come on and off accordingly.
My engine will not start. It worked last weekend but now it will not start.
Most engine packages will beep when you key-on to start. If your engine does not beep , check your
battery connections for loose or disconnected wires. If the unit beeps, you have some battery power,
so now check to make sure the shift lever is in Neutral and the safety lanyard clip located at the shift
and throttle control box is properly engaged. If the engine “beeps” but does not turn over in the
start position, check your battery voltage condition. Check all the switches and accessories to ensure
nothing was left on to drain the battery.
Why won’t some of the snaps on my full stand-up top snap down?
On every Legend full standup top, you will find normal snaps and anchor snaps. The anchor snaps
are specially marked with the wording “One Way Pull”. You will find on the backside the snap will
have a flat surface, these should go down first before you snap the rest in place.
Why doesn’t my boat drive in a straight line at low speeds?
What you are experiencing is called hunting and is completely normal. Due to the current, wind
conditions, and wave height you will find the boat hunting for a straight line. It’s normal to correct
the steering wheel to keep the boat traveling in a straight line.
Why do I have water in the livewell when the overflow stem is not inserted?
Depending on the amount of weight in the boat, the livewell drain outlet will feed lake water back
into the livewell. To avoid this, just screw in the overflow stem.
Why is my steering wheel stiff when under power?
When getting the boat on plane, you will notice the steering wheel will be stiff and pulls to the right .
This is called torque steer. To correct this, just trim the outboard up slowly until the torque steer goes
away and the helm feels neutral in your hands.
