In.the.unlikely.event.of.a.shift/throttle.failure,.shut.
down.the.engine.immediately..Carefully.check.the.
control.connections.in.the.engine.compartment.to.
see.if.they.are.secure..If.not,.try.to.locate.the.attach-
ing.hardware.and.reassemble..If.that.is.not.possible,.
try.to.use.whatever.is.available.such.as.paper.clips,.
hair.clips,.tape,.etc.,.to.secure.the.connections..If.a.
temporary.repair.is.made,.return.to.port.at.the.slowest.
steerable.speed.and.be.prepared.to.take.emergency.

drive.unit.in.the.engine.compartment..Some.boats.
have.a.push/pull.cable.while.others.will.have.hydraulic.
hose.connections..With.cable.connections,.check.the.
attaching.hardware.and.tighten.it.if.necessary..If.you.
have.hydraulic.hose.connections,.check.to.see.if.they.
are.leaking..If.so,.tighten.the.connections.and.check.
the hydraulic fluid reservoir level. Most stern drives
are.power.assisted.and.have.their.own.hydraulic.

level.of.reservoir.and.drive.pump.belt..If.the.steering..
is.not.operating.properly,.do.not.operate.the.boat..
and.call.for.assistance..
