U.S. COAST GUARD CAPACITY

Do not overpower or overload the boat. Most boats
will carry a required capacity plate indicating the max-
imum acceptable power and load as determined by
the manufacturer following certain federal guidelines.
If in doubt, contact your dealer or the boat manufac-
turer.

WARNING

Using an outboard that exceeds the maximum
horsepower limit of a boat can: 1. cause loss of
boat control 2. place too much weight at the tran-
som altering the designed flotation characteris-
tics of the boat or 3. cause the boat to break apart,
particularly around the transom area. Overpow-
ering a boat can result in serious injury, death, or
boat damage.

Start in Gear Protection

The remote control connected to the outboard must
be equipped with a start-in-gear protection device.
This prevents the engine from starting in gear.

WARNING

Avoid serious injury or death from a sudden un-
expected acceleration when starting your engine.
The design of this outboard requires that the re-
mote control used with it must have a built in
start-in-gear protection device.

Selecting Accessories For
The Outboard

Genuine Quicksilver Parts and Accessories have
been specifically designed and tested for this out-
board.

Some accessories not manufactured or sold by
Quicksilver are not designed to be safely used with
this outboard or outboard operating system. Acquire
and read the installation, operation, and maintenance
manuals for all selected accessories.
