Caution!
Operating in beach range or lift range will cause
significant loss of maneuverability. Operating in beach
range above idle speed, or for prolonged periods of
time, may cause serious drive damage.

Trim/tilt motor protection
Caution!
Always allow the trim/tilt switch to return to its center
position when the drive unit reaches its maximum
raised or lowered position. This precaution will pre-
vent your trim/tilt motor from overheating.
Impact protection
The trim/tilt system provides impact protection for the drive
unit. If an impact occurs, the drive will "kick up," thereby
helping to minimize drive damage. Impact damage, however,
can occur in either FORWARD or REVERSE directions. You
must be careful when
•
You operate in FORWARD or REVERSE
•
You are backing at low speeds
•
You trailer your boat
•
You launch your boat.
Note: Impact damage is more likely to occur when you are
in a turn where side loads are placed on the drive unit.
If you strike a solid object:
•
Throttle back and shut off the engine immediately.
•
Closely inspect the boat and drive unit (especially the
transom shield assembly that contains steering system
components)
•
Check the engine compartment for water leakage.
