WARNING

●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.

●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.
