NOTICE
The seawater pumps on vessels equipped with Zeus pod drives can be damaged by excessive exhaust aeration due to
inadequate water flow. To ensure adequate water flow across the seawater inlets, make sure that the vessel is underway before
exceeding 1500 RPM.

excessive exhaust aeration of the seawater, do not operate the engine above 1500 RPM.
