Before beginning the running test,
check that the boat with maximum
capacity loading floats on the
water in a proper attitude. Check
the position of water surface on
the driveshaft housing. If the water
surface is near the bottom cowling,
in high waves, water may enter the
engine cylinders.
Incorrect outboard motor mounting
height or existence of underwater
object(s), such as hull bottom
design, bottom surface conditions
or underwater accessories, can
cause water spray possibly reaching
the engine through an opening of
the bottom cowling during cruising.
Exposing engine to such conditions
for extended periods can lead to
severe engine damage.
