damaged by a collision while operating

 

 

or trailering. Damage could make the out-

 

 

board motor unsafe to operate.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If the outboard motor hits any object in

 

 

the water, follow the procedure below.

 

 

1) Stop the engine immediately.

 

 

2) Inspect the control system and all

 

 

components for damage. Also,

 

 

inspect the boat for damage.

outboard motor before operating it

 

 

again.

RUNNING SINGLE ENGINE

 

 

Using only one of the engines in case of

 

 

an emergency, be sure to keep the

 

 

unused one tilted up and operate the

 

 

other engine at low speed.

 

 

cC

 

 

 

 

 

 

If the boat is operated with one engine in

 

 

the water but not running, water may run

 

 

into the exhaust pipe due to wave action,

 

 

causing engine trouble.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

NOTE:

 

 

 

 

When you are maneuvering at low speed,

 

 

 

such as near a dock, it is recommended

001422

 

 

that both engines be running with one in

 

 

 

 

 

 

neutral gear if possible.
