Unauthorized use of your boat could lead to an accident or damage to your boat.
To prevent unauthorized use of your boat, be sure to remove the key and emergency stop switch lock plate when the boat is unattended.
To make sure that the emergency stop switch operates properly, stop the engine occasionally by pulling out the lock plate, while operating the
engine at idling speed.
MOORING
The motor should be tilted up out of the water when you moor the boat in shallow water or if the motor will not be used for some time, to protect it from damage by underwater obstacles at low tide or corrosion from salt water.
Refer to the TILT UP LOCK ARM section for details on how to tilt up the motor.
If you leave the motor tilted up for a long period of time with the fuel line connected, fuel can leak out.
Disconnect the fuel line whenever you leave the motor tilted up for a long period of time.
Improperly securing your boat may cause damage to your boat or motor, or other property damage.
Do not allow your motor to rub against quay walls, piers or other boats when the boat is tied up.
