Cruising in shallow water (manual tilt
models)
WARNING
EWM00710
●
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. The tilt lock mecha-
nism does not work while the shallow
water cruising system is being used.
Hitting an underwater obstacle could
cause the outboard motor to lift out of
the water, resulting in loss of control.
●
Do not rotate the outboard motor 180°
and operate the boat in reverse. Place
the gear shift in reverse to operate the
boat in reverse.
●
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.
