ENGINE HOSES AND CABLES OR THE TRANSOM GEL
COAT CAN BE DAMAGED BY TILTING THE ENGINES TO THE
FULL UP POSITION WITH THE ENGINES TURNED TO THE
WRONG POSITION. MOST BOATS REQUIRE THE STEERING
WHEEL TO BE TURNED COMPLETELY TO STARBOARD
BEFORE TILTING THE ENGINES TO THE FULL UP POSITION.
YOU SHOULD MONITOR EACH ENGINE AS IT TILTS TO
DETERMINE BEST FULL TILT ENGINE POSITION FOR YOUR
BOAT.

SOME AUTOPILOTS HAVE ENGINE POSITION SENSORS
THAT ARE MOUNTED TO THE HYDRAULIC STEERING
CYLINDER. WITH THESE AUTOPILOTS, THE ENGINE
POSITION SENSOR BRACKET COULD HIT THE TRANSOM
WHEN THE ENGINES ARE TILTED TO THE FULL UP POSITION
AND CAUSE DAMAGE TO ENGINE RIGGING, AUTOPILOT OR
THE TRANSOM. IF YOU HAVE AN AUTOPILOT INSTALLED
ON YOUR BOAT, YOU SHOULD MONITOR THE LOCATION
OF THE ENGINE CABLES AND AUTOPILOT BRACKETS
AS THE ENGINES ARE TILTED TO DETERMINE THE BEST
ENGINE POSITION AND MAXIMUM ENGINE TILT FOR YOUR
APPLICATION.

Your boat is equipped with an engine stop switch
and lanyard. When the lanyard is pulled it will
engage the switch and shut o the engines. We
strongly recommend that the lanyard be attached
to the driver whenever the engines are running.
If the engines will not start, it could be because
the lanyard is not properly inserted into the en-
gine stop switch. Always make sure the lanyard is
properly attached to the engine stop switch before
attempting to start the engines.
Refer to the engine owner’s manual for more in-
formation on the engine stop switch.
