WARNING
Run the boat at the lowest possible

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
the water, resulting in loss of control.
Use extra care when operating in re-

verse. Too much reverse thrust can
cause the outboard motor to lift out of
the water, increasing the chance of ac-
cident and personal injury.
