TRAILERING
Trailer your boat with the motor in a vertical posi-
tion. If your trailer does not provide adequate road
clearance, the motor can be trailered by using an
accessory trailering bracket. See your Dealer.
DO NOT use the tilt support when trailering.
IMPORTANT: Whenever using an accessory traile-
ring bracket, the motor must be restrained. Bounc-
ing during transport will damage the motor and
boat’s transom.
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.

ters, seek information on safe boating areas and
navigation hazards from a reliable local source. Re-

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 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.
