Incorrect engine height or obstructions to
smooth water flow (such as the design or
condition of the boat or acce- ssories
such as transom ladders/depth finder
transducers) can create airborne water
spray while the boat is cruising.
Severe engine damage may result if the
motor is operated continuously in the
presence of airborne water spray.
NOTE:
During water testing check the buoyancy
of the boat, at rest, with its maximum
load. Check that the static water level on
the exhaust housing is low enough to pre-
vent water entry into the powerhead,
when water rises due to waves when the
outboard is not running.
