8 Place the gear shift in the Neutral posi-
tion before using the shallow water
cruising system.
8 Run the boat at the lowest possible
speed when using the shallow water
cruising system. The tilt-lock mecha-
nism does not work while the shallow
water cruising system is being used.
Hitting an underwater obstacle could
cause the engine to lift out of the
water, resulting in loss of control.
8 Use extra care when operating in
reverse. Too much reverse thrust can
cause the engine to lift out of the
water, increasing the chance of acci-
dent and personal injury.
8 Return the engine to its normal posi-
tion as soon as the boat is back in
deeper water.
