Shallow Water Operation
When operating in shallow water,
tilt the motor up to prevent the pro-

bottom (refer to the BF35A/45A
Owner's Manual for additional infor-
mation).
Use the minimum amount of throttle
opening necessary to maintain sat%
boat control.
The motor should not be trimmed so
high that the cooling system indica-
tor stops discharging water. Monitor
the cooling system indicator for suf-
ficient water discharge when the mo-
tor is tilted beyond 20'.
