OPERATION
TRAILERING
DANGER
Trailer your boat with the motor in a vertical posi-
tion. If your trailer does not provide adequate road
clearance, the motor can be trailered by using an
accessory trailering bracket.
DO NOT run the engine indoors or without
adequate ventilation or permit exhaust
fumes to accumulate in confined areas.
Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide
which, if inhaled, can cause serious brain
damage or death.
IMPORTANT: Whenever using an accessory traile-
ring bracket, the motor must be restrained. Bounc-
ing during transport will damage the motor and
boat’s transom. DO NOT use the motor’s tilt sup-
port or the shallow-water drive bracket as a traile-
ring bracket.
WARNING
TILTING AND TILT SUPPORT
Contact with a rotating propeller is likely to
result in serious injury or death. Assure the
engine and prop area is clear of people and
objects before starting engine or operating
boat. Do not allow anyone near a propeller,
even when the engine is off. Blades can be
sharp and the propeller can continue to turn
even after the engine is off. Always shut off
the engine when near people in the water.
WARNING
Your motor has “impact protection” and
“reverse lock” only when the tilt/run lever is
in RUN position. If operated with the tilt/run
lever left in TILT position, the motor could
tilt into the boat suddenly, causing loss of
control or serious injury.
MOTOR ANGLE ADJUSTMENT
Motor should be perpendicular to the water when
the boat is underway at full speed. This adjustment
can only be determined by water testing the boat.
Set angle adjustment for your normal load.
IMPORTANT: Use the tilt grip to tilt your motor; not
the steering handle.
Place motor in full tilt position. Refer to Tilting and
Tilt Support.

With the engine shut OFF and the shift lever in
NEUTRAL, move angle adjusting rod.
