GENERAL INFORMATION

WARNING

Avoid serious injury or death from deceleration forces resulting

from accidental or unintended stop switch activation. The boat

operator should never leave the operator's station without first

disconnecting the stop switch lanyard from the operator.

Accidental or unintended activation of the switch during normal

operation is also a possibility. This could cause any, or all, of the

following potentially hazardous situations:

• Occupants could be thrown forward due to unexpected loss

of forward motion ‑ a particular concern for passengers in the

front of the boat who could be ejected over the bow and

possibly struck by the gearcase or propeller.

• Loss of power and directional control in heavy seas, strong

current or high winds.

• Loss of control when docking.

Protecting People In The Water

WHILE YOU ARE CRUISING

It is very difficult for a person standing or floating in the water to

take quick action to avoid a boat heading in his/her direction, even

at slow speed.

21604

Always slow down and exercise extreme caution any time you are

boating in an area where there might be people in the water.
Whenever a boat is moving (coasting) and the outboard gear shift

is in neutral position, there is sufficient force by the water on the

propeller to cause the propeller to rotate. This neutral propeller

rotation can cause serious injury.
