IS YOUR OUTBOARD
MOTOR READY TO GO?
For your safety, and to maximize
the service life of your
equipment, it is very important to
take a few moments before you
operate the outboard motor to
check its condition. Be sure to
take care of any problem you
find, or have your authorized
Marine dealer correct it, before
you operate the outboard motor.
