WARNING
EWM00270
●
Place the gear shift in neutral before us-
ing the shallow water cruising system.
●
Run the boat at the lowest possible
speed when using the shallow water
cruising system.
●
Use extra care when operating in re-
verse. Too much reverse thrust can
cause the outboard motor to lift out of
the water, increasing the chance of ac-
cident and personal injury.
●
Return the outboard motor to its normal
position as soon as the boat is back in
deeper water.
CAUTION:
ECM00260
Do not tilt the outboard motor up so that
the cooling water inlet on the lower unit is
above the surface of the water when set-
ting up for and cruising in shallow water.
Otherwise severe damage from overheat-
ing can result.
