Environmental Considerations - MARKER ONE m25, m27 Owner's Manual

MARKER ONE
Adjust the tow line to match wave action. Keep the
boats on the crest or in the trough of the waves at
the same time. In protected, calm waters, shorten
the line for better handling. Tow at moderate speed,
allowing for adverse wind and wave conditions.
Have the operator of the towed boat steer with you,
if possible.
If you need a tow, or wish to tow another boat, use
great care. The boat structure can be damaged by
excessive pulling strain. You should offer help to a
boat in trouble. However, towing a capsized,
grounded or hull-damaged boat is dangerous. Give
assistance to the occupants, then call the proper
authorities.

Environmental Considerations

Using your boat in different environments requires
special operating considerations.
Salt Water
During long periods of mooring, if possible, tilt the
outboard out of the water – except in freezing
temperatures. Refer to the outboard owner's
manual for more information on saltwater operation
and protection.
Freshwater flushing of the engine is recommended
after operating in salt, polluted or brackish water.
Refer to your outboard operator's manual for
additional information.
Freezing Temperatures
When boating in temperatures below freezing, keep
the outboard tilted down (submerged) at all times.
This will help prevent damage from freezing.
Upon removing your Marker One boat from the
water, leave the outboard in the vertical position
until cooling system has drained.
Refer to your outboard operator's manual for
additional information regarding winterization.
