GENERAL INFORMATION

There is another less common hazardous result from allowing
your boat to launch off a wave or wake. If the bow of your boat
pitches down far enough while airborne, upon water contact it
may penetrate under the water surface and submarine for an
instant. This will bring the boat to a nearly instantaneous stop
and can send the occupants flying forward. The boat may also
steer sharply to one side.
Impact With Underwater Hazards
IMPORTANT: Operating in shallow waters can severely damage
the boat or power package. Maintain a minimum safe speed
when operating the vessel in shallow waters or in areas with
underwater obstacles.
Reduce speed and proceed with caution whenever you drive a
boat in shallow water areas, or in areas where you suspect
underwater obstacles may exist which could be struck by the
sterndrive or the boat bottom. The most important thing you can
do to help reduce injury or impact damage from striking a floating
or underwater object is to control the boat speed. Under these
conditions, boat speed should be kept to a minimum planing
speed 24 to 40 km/h (15 to 25 MPH)

Striking a floating or underwater object could result in an infinite
number of situations. Some of these situations could result in the
following:
• Part of the sterndrive or the entire sterndrive could break
loose and cause serious injury or damage to the boat.
• The boat could move suddenly in a new direction. Such a
sharp change in direction can cause occupants to be thrown
out of their seats or out of the boat.
