RUNNING SINGLE ENGINE

Using only one of the engines in case of an
emergency, be sure to keep the unused one
tilted up and operate the other engine at low
speed.
CAUTION:
@
If the boat is operated with one engine in
the water but not running, water may run
into the exhaust pipe due to wave action,
causing engine trouble.
@
NOTE:
@
When you are maneuvering at low speed,
such as near a dock, it is recommended that
both engines be running with one in neutral
gear if possible.
