IMPACT DAMAGE
Your outboard has a shock absorption system
designed to help withstand damage from im-
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-
ed or injured by falling against portions of the
boat as a result of rapid deceleration following
impacts.
Raise the motor to full TILT position. Refer to
Tilting on page 25. After initial engagement
of tilt support, tilt outboard fully and push tilt
support bracket to “lock” position.
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!
