waterway bottom. Use caution when
operating in shallow water.

Weeds block water intakes and may
cause your outboard to overheat.
Weeds on the propeller create vibra-
tion and reduce boat speed.
When operating in weedy water, run
at slow speeds and in REVERSE fre-
quently to clear weeds from the pro-
peller and water intakes. Check the
water pressure often.
If the REVERSE operation does not
clear away weeds, SHUT OFF the en-
gine. Remove weeds from propeller
area and water intakes before operat-
ing at higher speed.
