If your Rotax outboard is rigged on a
vessel with a Max Deck®, there are
bungee cords, which limit the travel of
the pivoting portion of the Max Deck®.
The bungees must be replaced after
an impact-related situation, as they
will have been stretched to their serv-
ice limit.
Failure to replace them after an im-
pact-related situation can result in in-
sufficient protection if another such
situation occurs.

Your outboard has a shock absorption
system designed to help withstand
damage from impact with underwater
objects at low to moderate speeds.
Such impacts can result in serious
damage to your outboard or boat. Oc-
cupants can also be ejected or injured
by falling against portions of the boat
as a result of rapid deceleration fol-
lowing impacts.
