Boat Horsepower Capacity
!
WARNING
Exceeding the boat's maximum horsepower rating can cause
serious injury or death. Overpowering the boat can affect boat
control and flotation characteristics or break the transom. Do
not install an engine that exceeds the boat's maximum power
rating.
Do not overpower or overload your boat. Most boats will carry a
required capacity plate indicating the maximum acceptable
power and load as determined by the manufacturer following
certain federal guidelines. If in doubt, contact your dealer or the
boat manufacturer.
Start in Gear Protection
!
WARNING
Starting the engine with the drive in gear can cause serious
injury or death. Never operate a boat that does not have a
neutral‑safety‑protection device.
The remote control connected to the outboard must be equipped
with a start in neutral only protection device. This prevents the
engine from starting in gear.
