!
CAUTION
If boat is in the water, seacock (water inlet valve),
if so equipped, must be left closed until engine is
to be re-started, to prevent water from flowing
back into cooling system and/or boat. If boat is
not fitted with a seacock, water inlet hose must
be left disconnected and plugged (to prevent wa-
ter from flowing back into cooling system and/or
boat). As a precautionary measure, attach a tag
to the ignition switch or steering wheel of the
boat with the warning: Open seacock or recon-
nect water inlet hose before starting engine.
