GENERAL INFORMATION
15
• Occupants could be thrown forward due to unexpected loss
of forward motion ‑ a particular concern for passengers in the
front of the boat who could be ejected over the bow and
possibly struck by the gear case or propeller.
• Loss of power and directional control in heavy seas, strong
current or high winds.
• Loss of control when docking.
Trailering Boat
The boat can be trailered with the drive unit in up or down position.
Adequate road clearance is required between road and gear
housing skeg when trailering with the drive unit in down position.
If adequate road clearance is a problem, place drive unit in full up
position.
Protecting People In The Water
WHILE YOU ARE CRUISING
It is very difficult for a person in the water to take quick action to
avoid a boat heading in their direction, even at slow speeds.
Always slow down and exercise extreme caution any time you are
boating in an area where there might be people in the water.
Whenever a boat is moving (even coasting) and the gear shift is in
neutral, there is sufficient force by the water on the propeller to
cause the propeller to rotate. This neutral propeller rotation can
cause serious injury.
