SHALLOW-WATER DRIVE
There are two shallow-water drive positions. Use
whichever is appropriate, depending on the depth
of the water.
Slow the engine and shift to NEUTRAL before en-
gaging or disengaging shallow-water drive.
Slowly tilt the outboard up until you hear it make a
“click” sound.
Slowly lower the outboard. It will stop in a position
that is slightly tilted up from the normal trim angle.

IMPORTANT: Check often that water intakes are
completely submerged and the water pump indica-
tor is discharging a steady stream of water.
MOORING
You may moor your boat with the motor’s gearcase
out of the water by using its tilt feature. Depending
on the model, refer to Tilting.
