WARNING
:
The tilt lock mechanism does not work while the shallow water cruising system is being used. Run
the boat at the lowest possible speed to avoid the outboard motor being lifted out of the water,
resulting in loss of control.
Return the outboard motor to its normal position as soon as the boat is back in deeper water.
CAUTION:
The cooling water inlet on the lower unit should be not above the surface of the water when setting up
for and cruising in shallow water. Otherwise severe damage from overheating can result. For tilting
procedure, see section 2.11

them from
becoming clogged with salt deposits.
