IMPACT DAMAGE
Your  engine  has  a  shock  absorption  system  de-
signed to help withstand damage from impact with
underwater  objects  at  low  to  moderate  speeds.
However, high speed impacts with rigid underwater
objects like pilings or boulders can be beyond the
capability of the absorption  system. Such impacts
can result in serious damage to your engine and in-
jury to boat occupants from the engine or its parts
entering the boat. Occupants can also be ejected or
injured by falling against portions of the boat as a
result of rapid deceleration following impacts. When
boating in unfamiliar, shallow or debris-laden wa-
ters, seek information on safe boating areas and
navigation hazards from a reliable local source. Re-
duce your speed and keep a sharp lookout!
If you hit any object, stop immediately and examine
the engine for loosening of attaching hardware and
clamp screws, if equipped. Inspect for damage to
swivel  and  stern  brackets,  steering  components,
and components in the area of impact. Also, exam-
ine  the  boat  for  structural  damage.  Tighten  any
loosened hardware. If the collision occurred in the
water,  proceed  slowly  to  harbor.  Before  boating
again,  have  your  DEALER  thoroughly  inspect  all
components.
WARNING
Failure to inspect for damage could result in
sudden,   unexpected    component   failure,
loss  of  boat  control,  and  personal  injury.
Unrepaired damage could reduce your boat
and engine’s ability to resist future impacts.
The  engine’s  shock  absorption  system  does  not
work while operating in reverse. If you back into an
object, either in the water or while trailering, your
boat and engine can be seriously damaged.
STORING
To avoid difficulty when restarting,    never run  the
engine with the fuel hose disconnected or run the
engine out of fuel.
If you must tilt the motor to remove it from the water,
lower it and allow the cooling system to drain com-
pletely as soon as you clear the launch area.
Between uses, store your motor in a vertical posi-
tion.
For recommendations on extended periods of stor-
age, refer to Off-Season Storage.
