WARNING
Place the gear shift in neutral before us-
G
ing the shallow water cruising system.
Run the boat at the lowest possible
G
speed when using the shallow water
cruising system. The tilt lock mecha-
nism does not work while the shallow
water cruising system is being used.
Hitting an underwater obstacle could
cause the outboard motor to lift out of

Do not rotate the outboard motor 180°
G
and operate the boat in reverse. Place
the gear shift in reverse to operate the

cident and personal injury.
Return the outboard motor to its normal
