OPERATION
POWER TRIM AND TILT
WARNING
Manual Release
If needed, the outboard will tilt up or down
manually, using the manual release screw.
Any malfunction of the power trim and
tilt unit could result in loss of shock
absorber protection if an underwater
obstruction is hit. Malfunction can also
result in loss of reverse thrust capabil-
ity.
WARNING
Keep everyone clear of a tilted out-
board when backing out the manual
release screw. The outboard could
drop suddenly and forcibly. Be sure to
tighten the manual release screw after
manually repositioning the outboard.
Tightening the screw also reactivates
the outboard’s shock absorber protec-
tion and reverse thrust capability.
Correct fluid level must be maintained
to ensure operation of the impact pro-
tection on this unit.
Full Tilt
1)
Turn the manual release screw counter-
clockwise, slowly (about 3 1/2 turns), until
it lightly contacts its retaining ring.
Reposition the outboard.
Tighten the manual release screw to hold
the outboard in its new position.
The full tilt is often used to tilt the outboard for
or

Trim
In most operating conditions, it is recom-
mended to trim the outboard to the full down
position when accelerating. Once on plane,
trim the outboard up until the exhaust is
heard, then back down slightly.
Shallow Water Drive
You can tilt the outboard to any position with-
in the tilt range but DO NOT run the engine
faster than idle speed. If idling a tilted out-
board, keep its water intakes submerged at
all times.
