GENERAL INFORMATION
16
Operating a damaged sterndrive could cause additional damage to other
parts of the sterndrive, or could affect control of the boat. If continued
running is necessary, do so at greatly reduced speeds.
Trailering Boat
The boat can be trailered with the drive unit in up or down position.
Adequate road clearance is required between road and gear housing skeg
when trailering with the drive unit in down position.
If adequate road clearance is a problem, place drive unit in full up position.
Safe Boating Suggestions
Familiarize yourself with local, state and federal boating regulations and
restrictions.
Use flotation devices. Have an approved personal flotation device of
suitable size for each person aboard (it is the law).

load (weight) capacities (refer to your boat capacity plate). If in doubt,
contact your dealer or boat manufacturer.

schedule and ensure that all repairs are properly made.

safety equipment to carry when boating:
Approved fire extinguisher
Paddle or oar
Signal devices: flashlight, rockets or flares, flag and whistle or horn
