1.
Rinse off Jackplate(s) thoroughly using fresh, clean water only.
- Cleaning fluids containing ammonia, acids or any other corrosive
ingredients MUST NOT be used for cleaning any part of the
Jackplate(s).
1.4 During Use
1.5 After Use
To reduce risk of severe injury or death, always wear a Coast Guard
Approved personal flotation device (PFD) and use an engine shut-
off cord (lanyard).
Damage to outboard will occur if proper water pressure is not
maintained while the boat is under way. Raising the outboard too
high will result in a water pressure drop and overheating of your
outboard engine will occur. Proper water pressure must be
maintained at all times during operation of the outboard.
DO NOT attempt to steer with the engine at full tilt. Damage to
the Jackplate(s) and/or steering components could occur.
