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

navigation hazards from a reliable local source. Re-

boat and engine can be seriously damaged.
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-

loosened hardware. If the collision occurred in the
water,  proceed  slowly  to  harbor.  Before  boating
again, have your Dealer thoroughly inspect all com-
ponents.
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.
