A - 10 GROUNDING AND TOWING
NOTICE
DO NOT shift if engine speed is above
00
RPM.
If the boat should become disabled, or if
assisting another craft that is disabled,
great care must be taken. The stress
applied to a boat during towing may
become excessive. Excessive stress can
damage the structure of the boat and
create a safety hazard for those aboard.

Any time the boat is operated, be aware
of changes in shift system operation.
A sudden increase in shift effort of the
shifter levers, or other abnormal operation,
indicates a possible problem in the shift
system. If this occurs, the following
precautions must be taken:
