GENERAL INFORMATION
21
Extreme care should be exercised when operating a boat equipped
with only low water inlets while maneuvering in shallow water. Due
to a small amount of total water inlet area, there is high suction at
the water inlets. These inlets will easily clog with bottom contact
and are susceptible to clogging when operated in shallow or weedy
water.
Low Water Inlet and Sportmaster Gearcase
a - Low water pick‑up
gearcase
b - Sportmaster gearcase
The design of the dual water inlet gear case reduces the risk of
restricting or shutting off the water supply to the engine, but caution
should still be used when operating in shallow or weedy water.
CLEARING A DUAL WATER INLET GEAR CASE
1. Idle the boat out to deep water.
2. Bring the boat up on plane but operate at a moderate speed
until the engine temperature and block water pressure returns
to normal.
