USING THE EVINRUDE MFE OUTBOARD
IMPACT DAMAGE PROTECTION
• EXAMINE the boat for structural damage.
•
TIGHTEN any loosened hardware.
Your outboard has a shock absorption system designed to
If the collision occurred in the water, proceed slowly to har-
help withstand damage from impact with underwater ob- bor. Before boating again, thoroughly inspect all compo-
jects at low to moderate speeds.
nents.
High speed impacts with rigid underwater objects like pil-
ings or boulders can be beyond the capability of the ab-
sorption system.
WARNING
Failure to inspect for damage after an accident or
striking an object could result in sudden, unex-
pected component failure, loss of boat control, and
personal injury. Unrepaired damage could reduce
your boat and outboard’s ability to resist future
impacts.
Such impacts can result in serious damage to your out-
board and injury to boat occupants from the outboard 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 boating in unfamiliar, shallow, or debris-laden wa-
ters, seek information on safe boating areas and naviga-
tion hazards from a reliable local source.
Reduce your speed and keep a sharp lookout!
IMPORTANT: Impact damage is NOT covered by the out-
board warranty.
NOTICE
The outboard’s shock absorption sys-
tem does not work while operating in reverse. If you
back into an object, either in the water or while traile-
ring, your boat and outboard can be seriously dam-
aged.
If you hit any object:
•
STOP immediately and examine the outboard for loos-
ening of attaching hardware.
•
INSPECT for damage to swivel and stern brackets, and
steering components.
