6. OPERATION
Shallow Water Operation
Excessive
trim/tilt
angle
during
operation
can cause
the propeller
to
raise
out of the water
and cause
propeller
ventilation
and engine
over-revving.
Excessive
trim/tilt
angle
can also damage
the water
pump
and overheat
the engine.
When operating in shallow water, tilt
the motor up to prevent the propeller
and gear case from hitting the bottom
With the motor tilted up, operate the
engine at
low speed.
Monitor the cooling system indicator
for water discharge. Be sure that the
motor is not tilted so high that the
water intakes are out of the water.
