Before beginning the running test, check
that the boat with maximum capacity
loading floats on the water in a proper
attitude. Check the position of water
surface on the driveshaft housing. If the
water surface is near the bottom cowl-
ing, in high waves, water may enter the
engine cylinders.

Incorrect outboard motor mounting

object(s), such as hull bottom design,
bottom surface conditions or underwa-
ter accessories, can cause water spray
possibly reaching the engine through an
opening of the bottom cowling during
cruising. Exposing the engine to such
conditions for extended periods can
lead to severe engine damage.
