pact with underwater objects at low to moder-
ate speeds. 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 outboard and injury to boat
occupants from the outboard or its parts en-
tering the boat. Occupants can also be eject-

boat as a result of rapid deceleration following
impacts.
When boating in unfamiliar, shallow, or de-
bris-laden waters, seek information on safe
boating areas and navigation hazards from a
reliable local source. Reduce your speed and
keep a sharp lookout!

transport may damage the outboard and the
boat’s transom.

trailering may cause damage to the outboard.
