NOTE:
Depending on the type of boat, the out-
board motor trim angle may have little
effect on the trim of the boat when oper-
ating.
EMU00284
TILTING UP/DOWN
If the engine will be stopped for some
time, or if the boat is moored in shallows,
the engine should be tilted up to protect
the propeller and casing from damage by
collision with obstructions, and also to
reduce salt corrosion.

Before tilting the motor, follow the pro-
cedures under “STOPPING ENGINE”.
Never tilt the motor while the engine is
running. Severe damage from over-
heating can result.

Do not tilt up the engine by pushing
the steering handle as this could break
the handle.
Keep the power unit higher than the
propeller at all times. Otherwise, water
can run into the cylinder, causing dam-
age.

The outboard cannot be tilted when in
Reverse, or when the outboard is
turned 180° (facing to the rear).
w
Be sure all people are clear of the out-
board motor when adjusting the tilt
angle, also be careful not to pinch any
body parts between the drive unit and
engine bracket.
