the water, follow the procedure below.
1)
Stop the engine immediately.
2)
Inspect the control system and all
components for damage. Also,
inspect the boat for damage.

Whether damage is found or not,
return to the nearest harbor slowly
and carefully.

RUNNING SINGLE ENGINE
Using only one of the engines in case of
an emergency, be sure to keep the
unused one tilted up and operate the
other engine at low speed.

If the boat is operated with one engine in
the water but not running, water may run
into the exhaust pipe due to wave action,
causing engine trouble.
NOTE:
When you are maneuvering at low speed,
such as near a dock, it is recommended
that both engines be running with one in
neutral gear if possible.
