However, when this activity is done with speed to force the boat hull partially or completely out of the water, certain hazards arise, particularly when the boat re-enters the water. CD544 Impact With Underwater Hazards Reduce speed and proceed with caution whenever you’re driving a boat in shallow water areas or in areas where the waters are suspected of having underwater obstacles that could be struck by the sterndrive or the boat bot- tom.

CA802 Operating With Low Water Inlets In Shallow Water 7 CAUTION Serious engine damage could occur by failing to follow these instructions. Sand, silt or mud could be sucked into the water inlets restricting or shutting off the water supply to the engine. Extreme care should be exercised when operating a boat equipped with low water inlets (A) while maneuvering in shallow water. CA281 Safe Boating Suggestions In order to safely enjoy the waterways, familiarize yourself with local and other governmental boating regulations and restrictions, and consider the following suggestions.

Know and obey all nautical rules and laws of the waterways. Boat operators should complete a boating safety course. For additional information, obtain a copy of our “Hi-Performance Boat Operation” booklet (Part Number 90-849250-1) from your dealer, distributor, or Mercury Marine.

Conditions Affecting Operation Weight Distribution Positioning of weight (passengers and gear) inside the boat has the following effects: A. Shifting weight to rear (stern) will: Generally increases speed and engine rpm. At extremes, can cause boat to porpoise.

Causes bow to bounce in choppy water. Increases danger of following wave splashing into boat when coming off plane. CD449 Propeller Selection It is the responsibility of the boat manufacturer and/or the selling dealer to equip the power package with the correct propeller(s). Select a propeller that will allow the engine power package to operate at or near the top end of the recommended wide-open-throttle operating rpm range with a normal load.

CD450 Important Information Operation and Maintenance OWNER/OPERATOR RESPONSIBILITIES It is the operator’s responsibility to perform all safety checks, ensure that all lubrication and maintenance instruc- tions are complied with for safe operation, and return the unit to an Authorized MerCruiser Dealer for a periodic checkup. CD452 Freezing Temperature And Cold Weather Operation IMPORTANT: If boat is operated during periods of freezing temperature, precautions must be taken to prevent freezing damage to the sterndrive. Refer to “Cold Weather or Extended Storage” for related in- formation and draining instructions.
