The outboard motor can be seriously
damaged by a collision while operating or
trailering. Damage could make the out-

ter, follow the procedure below.
Stop the engine immediately.
Inspect the control system and all com-
ponents for damage. Also inspect the

Replacing fuse

model, open the fuse holder and replace
