WARNING
Starting the engine with the drive in gear can cause serious
injury or death. Never operate a boat that does not have a
neutral‑safety‑protection device.
The remote control connected to the outboard must be equipped
with a start in neutral only protection device. This prevents the
engine from starting in gear.
