Manual Release
Tilting
To operate the power tilt, push and hold the trim/tilt
switch in the bow-up or bow-down position. The en-
gine will tilt up or down until the switch is released
or the engine reaches the end of its travel.
WARNING
Keep everyone clear of a tilted engine when
backing out the manual release screw. The
engine could drop suddenly and forcibly. Be
sure to tighten the manual release screw
after manually repositioning the engine.
Tightening the screw also reactivates the
engine’s shock absorber protection and
reverse thrust capability.
If needed, the outboard will tilt up or down manually:
Turn the manual release screw counterclockwise,
slowly, about 2 turns.
Reposition the engine.
Tighten the manual release screw to hold the en-
gine in its new position.

mum position.

The boat will be properly trimmed when the trim an-
gle provides a bow position that results in the best
boat performance for your operating conditions.
You must use a speedometer and tachometer to
determine boat and engine performance at different
trim positions. To help maintain steering stability
and good performance, always maintain the proper
trim angle, which varies depending on the combina-
tion of boat, motor, propeller, and operating condi-
tions.

To familiarize yourself with power trim, make test
runs with the boat’s bow at various positions. Note
the time it takes for the boat to plane, the tachome-
ter and speedometer readings, and the ride and ac-
tion of the boat.
