WARNING
 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. Hit-
ting an underwater obstacle could cau-
se the outboard motor to lift out of the
water, resulting in loss of control.
 Use extra care when operating in re-
verse. Too much reverse thrust can cau-
se the outboard motor to lift out of the
water, increasing the chance of acci-
dent and personal injury.
