OPERATION
The power tilt is often used to tilt the engine for
clearance when beaching, mooring, or launching.
DANGER
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.
DANGER
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.

Trim Gauge
The trim gauge indicates the bow position that is
achieved by the trim angle of your motor.
POWER TRIM AND TILT
WARNING
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 capability.
The trim system features a trim range of 21°:
You can pivot the engine to any position within this
range while underway and at any boat speed.
The power trim is normally used to improve accel-
eration, speed, and ride quality and to adjust for
changing water conditions.
Manual Release
WARNING
The tilt system will tilt your engine an additional 54°:
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.
While positioned within the tilt range, DO NOT run
the engine faster than idle speed. If idling a tilted
engine, keep its water intakes submerged at all
times.
