Failure to correctly fasten the outboard could result in the outboard propelling

off the boat transom resulting in property damage, serious injury, or death.

Before operation, the outboard must be correctly installed with the required

mounting hardware.

If an obstacle is struck at planing speed and the outboard is not securely

fastened to the transom, it is possible the outboard could lift off the transom

and land in the boat.

Exhaust Emissions

BE ALERT TO CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING

Carbon monoxide (CO) is a deadly gas that is present in the exhaust fumes of

all internal combustion engines, including the engines that propel boats, and

the generators that power boat accessories. By itself, CO is odorless, colorless,

and tasteless, but if you can smell or taste engine exhaust, you are inhaling

CO.

Early symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning, which are similar to the

symptoms of seasickness and intoxication, include headache, dizziness,

drowsiness, and nausea.

Inhaling engine exhaust gases can result in carbon monoxide poisoning,

which can lead to unconsciousness, brain damage, or death. Avoid exposure

to carbon monoxide.

Stay clear from exhaust areas when engine is running. Keep the boat

well‑ventilated while at rest or underway.
