• Product user is informad; and
• Products are safe and reliable.
lt is up to you, the people who ...
• Rig boats;
• Fix machinery; and
• Maintain equipment
...to keep the products safe and reliable.
This section talks about safe boating and how you can help make it safe. Sorne items you may know...
but others you may not.
First!
A word about parts ... Plain parts; special parts; all parts!
DO NOT SUBSTITUTE PARTS
"They look the same, but are they the same?"
• Same size?
• Same strength?
• Same material?
• Same type?
Don't substituta unless you know they are the same in all characteristics.
Second!
• Special locking bolts and nuts are often used to hold steering, shift, and throttle remote control
cables to the motor.
• When you take any motor off a boat, keep track of special nuts and bolts. Do not mix with other
parts. Store them on the motor. Then they are there when you need them.
• When motor is retumed to boat, use only the special nuts and bolts to hold remote steering, shlñ,
and throttle cables to the motor.
