Impact damage

WARNING
The outboard motor can be seriously

damaged by a collision while operating or
trailering. Damage could make the out-
board motor unsafe to operate.
If the outboard motor hits an object in the wa-
ter, follow the procedure below.
1. Stop the engine immediately.
2. Inspect the control system and all com-
ponents for damage. Also inspect the
boat for damage.
3. Whether damage is found or not, return
to the nearest harbor slowly and careful-
ly.

board motor before operating it again.

Replacing fuse

If the fuse has blown on an electric start
model, open the fuse holder and replace the
fuse with a new one of the proper amperage.
WARNING
Be sure to use the specified fuse. An in-
correct fuse or a piece of wire could allow
excessive current flow. This could cause
electric system damage and a fire hazard.
