Tilting up and down
If the engine will be stopped for some time or

WARNING
Too much trim-in  causes the boat  to plow
through the water, decreasing fuel economy
and making it hard to increase speed. Oper-
ating with excessive trim-in at higher speeds
also makes the boat unstable. Resistance at
the bow is greatly increased, heightening the
danger of bow steeringand making opera-
tion difficult and dangerous.
Leaking fuel is  a fire hazard. If  there is a
fuel joint on the  outboard motor, discon-
nect the fuel line or close the  fuel cock if
the engine  will be  tilted for  more than a
few minutes. Otherwise fuel may leak.
