WARNING
DUAL OUTBOARD OPERATION
When in reverse above slow speed, be sure

NEUTRAL.
If it is necessary to return to harbor with one
outboard not running, tilt the inoperative out-
board high enough to keep its propeller out of
the water.
Water remaining in the gearcase, cool-

freeze, causing serious engine dam-
age.

TRANSPORTING THE OUTBOARD
TRAILERING
TRANSPORTING / STORAGE
Trailer your boat with the outboard in a verti-
cal position. If your trailer does not provide ad-
equate road clearance, support the outboard
with an accessory trailering bracket.
If the outboard is laid down for transportation
or storage, the oiling system must be primed
before reusing the outboard. Refer to Prim-
ing the Oil System on page 19.
IMPORTANT: The outboard must be re-
strained when trailering. Bouncing during
transport may damage the outboard and the
boat’s transom. Use of the tilt lock lever when
trailering may cause damage to the outboard.
