used. Run the boat at the lowest possible speed to avoid the outboard motor being lifted
out of the water, resulting in loss of control.
Return the outboard motor to its normal position as soon as the boat is back in deeper water.
CAUTION:
The cooling water inlet on the lower unit should be not above the surface of the water when
setting up for and cruising in shallow water. Otherwise severe damage from overheating can result.
For tilting procedure, see section 2.11.
2.12.2 Cruising in salt water
After operating in salt water, wash out the cooling water passages with fresh water to prevent them
from becoming clogged with salt deposits.
