CAUTION
If boat is in the water or is to remain in the water,
seacock (if so equipped) must remain closed un-
til engine is to be restarted, to prevent contami-
nated water from flowing back into cooling sys-
tem. If boat is not fitted with a seacock, water inlet
hose must be left disconnected and plugged, to
prevent contaminated water from flowing into
cooling system and/or boat. As a precautionary
measure, attach a tag to the ignition switch or
steering wheel with the warning that the seacock
must be opened or the water inlet hose recon-
nected prior to starting the engine.
