USING YOUR EVINRUDE E-TEC OUTBOARD
IMPACT DAMAGE PROTECTION
If the collision occurred in the water, proceed slowly to har-
bor. Before boating again, have your Dealer thoroughly in-
spect all components.
Your outboard has a shock absorption system designed to
help with stand damage from impact with underwater ob-
jects at low to moderate speeds. High speed impacts with
rigid underwater objects like pilings or boulders can be be-
yond the capability of the absorption system. Such impacts
can result in serious damage to your outboard 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.
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.
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.
•
•
EXAMINE the boat for structural damage.
TIGHTEN any loosened hardware.
