Shallow water
EMU35691
Cruising in shallow water (manual tilt
models)
WARNING
EWM00711
●
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. Hit-
ting 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 acci-
dent and personal injury.
NOTICE
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.
