6.4.1 COWLINGS
Your outboard(s) is(are) equipped with three upper cowling latches, one on each side and one at the
fore panel facing the stern of the vessel. To open the latches, rotate each handle through a 90° sweep to
the open position, where the handles face out from the outboard. Lift upward away from the latches to
remove the upper cowling.
Make sure all latches are at the open position prior to removing or installing the upper cowling. To close
the latches, rotate the handle through a 90° sweep back to the closed position, where the handles are
flush with the outboard.
WARNING
Do not operate the outboard(s) if one or more handles are not in the closed position.
Operating the outboard on water without the upper cowling in place could result in death or serious
injury.
The upper cowling is heavy (~20 kg/~44lbs) and appropriate lifting precautions must be taken.
Plan your lift prior to actioning.
