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. Hit-
ting an underwater obstacle could cau-
se 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 cau-
se the outboard motor to lift out of the
water, increasing the chance of acci-
dent and personal injury.

NOTICE
Do not tilt the outboard motor up so that
the cooling water inlet on the lower unit is

ting up for and cruising in shallow water.
Otherwise severe damage from overheat-
ing can result.
