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:
•.
With.engine.running.and.boat.securely.

A - 10 GROUNDING AND TOWING
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.
