2005 Johnson 40 50 hp PL4 4-Stroke Outboard Owners Manual

Manual Release
Tilting
To operate the power tilt, push and hold the trim/tilt
switch in the bow-up or bow-down position. The en-
gine will tilt up or down until the switch is released
or the engine reaches the end of its travel.
WARNING
Keep everyone clear of a tilted engine when
backing out the manual release screw. The
engine could drop suddenly and forcibly. Be
sure  to  tighten  the  manual  release  screw
after   manually   repositioning  the   engine.
Tightening  the  screw  also  reactivates  the
engine’s   shock  absorber   protection   and
reverse thrust capability.
If needed, the outboard will tilt up or down manually:
Turn the manual release screw counterclockwise,
slowly, about 2 turns.
Reposition the engine.
Tighten the manual release screw to hold the en-
gine in its new position.

Trimming
To operate the power trim, push and hold the trim/
tilt switch in the desired bow direction, either bow-
up  or  bow-down.  The  engine  will  move  until  the
switch is released or the engine reaches its maxi-
mum position.
The boat will be properly trimmed when the trim an-
gle provides a bow position that results in the best
boat performance for your operating conditions.
You must use a speedometer and tachometer to
determine boat and engine performance at different
trim  positions.  To  help  maintain  steering  stability
and good performance, always maintain the proper
trim angle, which varies depending on the combina-
tion of boat, motor, propeller, and operating condi-
tions.

To familiarize yourself with power trim, make test
runs with the boat’s bow at various positions. Note
the time it takes for the boat to plane, the tachome-
ter and speedometer readings, and the ride and ac-
tion of the boat.
