nents for damage. Also, check the boat

board motor before operating it again.

Running in an emergency (twin en-
gines or triple engines)
Normally use all outboard motors together for
cruising. When using only one or two engines
in an emergency, be sure to keep the unused
engine(s) tilted up and operate the other en-
gine(s) at low speed.

If the boat is operated with only one or two
engines, be sure to tilt the unused en-
gine(s) up. Otherwise water could enter
