OPERATION
Multiple Outboard Motors
On boats equipped with more than
one outboard motor, all motors
normally operate at the same time.
If one or more motor(s) is stopped
while the other(s) is running, put the
stopped motor in “N” (neutral) and
tilt it up so its propeller is above the
water's surface.
If the propeller of the stopped motor
is left in the water, it may turn as the
boat moves through the water,
causing a reverse flow of water from
the exhaust side. This reverse flow
will happen if the stopped engine's
propeller is in the water, its gearshift
is in “R” (reverse), and the boat is
moving forward. Reverse flow can
cause an engine malfunction.
