Secondary Station

Avoid injury or property damage. Starting an engine while the sterndrive unit or
transmission is in gear could cause severe injury to people or animals in or near the
boat, or property damage due to unexpected operation. Special circuitry and
switches are necessary and must be used to prevent accidental starter engagement
and subsequent engine operation while a sterndrive or transmission is in a gear.
