will carry a required capacity plate indicating the max-
imum acceptable power and load as determined by
the manufacturer following certain federal guidelines.
If in doubt, contact your dealer or the boat manufac-
turer.
WARNING
Using an outboard that exceeds the maximum
horsepower limit of a boat can: 1. cause loss of
boat control 2. place too much weight at the tran-
som altering the designed flotation characteris-
tics of the boat or 3. cause the boat to break apart,
particularly around the transom area. Overpow-
ering a boat can result in serious injury, death, or
boat damage.
Start in Gear Protection

be equipped with a start-in-gear protection device.
This prevents the engine from starting in gear.
WARNING
Avoid serious injury or death from a sudden un-
expected acceleration when starting your engine.
The design of this outboard requires that the re-
mote control used with it must have a built in
start-in-gear protection device.
