TRAILERING
WARNING
Keep everyone clear of stern area when
raising or lowering the outboard. Personal
injury or death can result from contact with
moving parts of the outboard.
Trailer your boat with the motor in a vertical posi-
tion. If your trailer does not provide adequate road
clearance, gain additional clearance by placing the
angle adjustment rod in the hole furthest out. Refer
to Motor Angle Adjustment. Gain maximum clear-
ance by tilting the motor all the way and using an
accessory trailering bracket.
If you hit any object, stop immediately and examine
the engine for loosening of attaching hardware and
clamp screws, if equipped. Inspect for damage to
swivel and stern brackets, steering components,
and components in the area of impact. Also, exam-
ine the boat for structural damage. Tighten any
loosened hardware. If the collision occurred in the
water, proceed slowly to harbor. Before boating
again, have your DEALER thoroughly inspect all
components.
IMPORTANT: Whenever trailering, the motor must
be restrained. Bouncing during transport will dam-
age the motor and boat’s transom.
IMPACT DAMAGE
Your boat and motor can be seriously damaged by
a collision at high or low speeds, while trailering, or
while in the water.
WARNING
Failure to inspect for damage could result in
sudden, unexpected component failure,
loss of boat control, and personal injury.
Unrepaired damage could reduce the ability
of your boat and engine to resist future
impacts.
STORING
For brief periods of nonuse, store your motor on the
boat or on a motor stand in a vertical, self-draining
position. For long periods of nonuse, refer to Off-
Season Storage.
IMPORTANT: After use and before transport, hold
the engine in a vertical position until the cooling sys-
tem has completely drained. Keep the powerhead
higher than the gearcase at all times.
