to allow operation in shallow water.
WARNING

Place the gear shift in neutral before us-
ing the shallow water cruising system.

speed when using the shallow water
cruising system.

cident and personal injury.
Return the outboard motor to its normal
position as soon as the boat is back in
deeper water.
CAUTION
Do not tilt the outboard motor up so that
the cooling water inlet on the lower unit is
above the surface of the water when set-
ting up for and cruising in shallow water.

ing can result.
