Trailering Boat
Boat can be trailered with drive unit in UP or DOWN position. Adequate road clearance is required between road
and gear housing skeg when trailering with drive unit in DOWN position.
If adequate road clearance is a problem, place drive unit in full trailer position and support with an optional trailer
kit which is available from your Authorized Mercury MerCruiser Dealer.

Launching And Boat Operation Care
CAUTION
During launching from a trailer, if the unloading ramp is steep or the trailer bed must be tilted, the boat
may enter the water rapidly and at a steep angle. This may force water through the exhaust system into
the cylinders. The more weight on the transom, the more likely this is to occur.
Slowing down rapidly or stopping suddenly may cause a following wave to “swamp” the transom. In
this instance, water may enter the cylinders through the exhaust system.
When backing up rapidly, the same situation may occur as stated in the preceding paragraph.
In any of these situations, water entering the engine could cause severe damage to internal parts. Refer to
Attention Required After Submersion.
