Running your boat in shallow water can cause propeller shaft,
strut, propeller and rudder damage and sand and silt to be pulled
into the cooling system. This will cause excessive water pump wear
and can clog the water passages in the engine. Heavy weed growth
in the water can plug the raw water strainer and oil coolers and
cause engine damage. There is a raw water strainer located near
the rear of the engine to strain the water before it goes into the
transmission cooler and then the engine. Check this every time you
use your boat to make sure it is not clogged.
Refer to Section 1, Hazardous Conditions, Boating Safety.
