• Do not modify or remove any outboard
motor standard equipment. To do so
may make the motor unsafe to use.
• Learn and obey all applicable naviga-
tion rules.
• Pay attention to all weather forecasts.
Do not set out if weather is unsettled.
• Use extreme caution when purchasing
replacement parts or accessories.
Suzuki strongly recommends that you
use only genuine Suzuki replacement
parts/accessories or their equivalent.
Inappropriate or poor quality replace-
ment parts or accessories can create
unsafe operating conditions.
NOTE:
Mounting radio transceiver or navigational
equipment antennae too close to the engine
cowling can cause electrical noise interference.
Suzuki recommends that antennae be mounted
at least one meter (40 inches) away from the
engine cowling.
