2. If damage is present or suspected the outboard should be taken to an authorized dealer for a thorough inspection and necessary repair The boat should also be checked for any hull fractures transom fractures or water leaks Operating a damaged outboard could cause additional damage to other parts of the outboard or could affect control of the boat If continued running is necessary do so at greatly reduced speeds Avoid serious injury or death from loss of boat control Continued boating with major impact damage can result in sudden outboard component failure with or without subsequent impacts Have the outboard thoroughly inspected and any necessary repairs made Safety Instructions For Hand Tilled Outboards No person or cargo should occupy the area directly in front of the outboard while the boat is in motion If an underwater obstacle is struck the outboard will tilt up and could seriously injure anyone occupying this area MODELS WITH CLAMP SCREWS Some outboards come with transom bracket clamp screws The use of clamp bracket screws alone is insufficient to properly and safely secure the outboard to the transom Proper installation of the outboard includes bolting the engine to the boat through the transom Refer to Installation Installing Outboard for more complete installation information Avoid serious injury or death from being struck by a disconnected outboard Do not accelerate above idle speed in water suspected of co
