Launching And Boat Operation Care; Stolen Power Package - Mercury V-6 series User Manual

CA20

Launching And Boat Operation Care

During launching from a trailer, if the unloading ramp is steep
or the trailer bed must be tilted, the boat may enter the water
rapidly and at a steep angle. This may force water through the
exhaust system into the cylinders. The more weight on the
transom, the more likely this is to occur.
Slowing down rapidly or stopping suddenly may cause a fol-
lowing wave to "swamp" the transom. In this instance, water
may enter the cylinders through the exhaust system.
When backing up rapidly, the same situation may occur as
stated in the preceding paragraph.
In any of these situations, water entering the engine could cause
severe damage to internal parts. Refer to "Attention Required After
Submersion."
