ILMOR 2011 MV8 User Manual Download Page 36

Never operate the boat

at continuous wide-open-throttle. This places

undue strain on the engine components. Wide-open-throttle exists to allow boaters to get

out of dangerous encounters or situations, but it represents the upper limit of the engine’s

capacity.

See also the boat manufacturer’s Owner’s Manual for operational hints and tips that can

enhance the enjoyment of the boat’s and drive train’s integration.
