n. Impact Damage 

 

Your boat and engine can be seriously damaged by a collision at high or low speeds, while 
trailering, or in the water. 
 
If you hit an object, stop immediately and examine the engine for loose mounting hardware 
or clamp screws. Inspect for damage to stern and swivel brackets, and components in the 
area of impact. Also, examine the boat for damage. Tighten any loose hardware. If collision 
occurred in the water, proceed slowly to shore. Before operating again, inspect all compo-
nents. 
 



Failure to inspect for damage can result in sudden, unexpected component failure 

and loss of boat control. Uncorrected damage can adversely affect the boat and en-
gine's ability to resist subsequent collisions. 

 

o. Special Operating Conditions  

 
Raider will be used primarily in salt water. It is important to wash down outboard as soon as 
possible after missions with fresh water.  It is important to run out fuel.  During the final burn out 
of fuel spray Corrosion Zero mist into throttle body.  After drying spray Corrosion Zero into start-
er motor and fine mist over motor. 
 

Sea Water 
Fresh water flushing is recommended after use in salt, polluted, or brackish water to 
prevent deposits from clogging the cooling passages. 
 
Check gear case anodes for deterioration, and replace if necessary. 

 
During long periods of non-use, tilt engine so that the gear case is out of the water, unless the 
temperature is below 32

° 

F (0

° 

C). When removing engine from water, allow cooling system to 

drain completely by placing engine in upright position. 
 

Weedy Water 

Weeds can block the water intakes and cause engine to overheat. Weeds on the propeller will 
cause engine to vibrate. 
 
Run at slow speeds and reverse engine frequently to clear weeds from propeller. Check water 
pump indicator often. Remove weeds from propeller and water intakes before operating in clear 
water. 
 

Freezing Weather 

To avoid engine damage, keep the gear case submerged in the water at all times. Before oper-
ating in freezing temperatures, check gear case lubricant. If leakage is found, gear case seals 
will need service.  
 
When removing engine from water, keep the engine in an upright position until the cooling sys-
tem is completely drained. 
 



Water that leaks into gear case or is left in the cooling system can freeze when the engine is 

removed from the water. This can cause serious damage.
