Operation
ing the shallow water cruising system.
Run the boat at the lowest possible
speed when using the shallow water
cruising system. The tilt lock mecha-
nism does not work while the shallow
water cruising system is being used.
Hitting an underwater obstacle could
cause the outboard motor to lift out of
the water, resulting in loss of control.
Do not rotate the outboard motor 180°
and operate the boat in reverse. Place
the gear shift in reverse to operate the
boat in reverse.

If the tilt support knob equipped: pull out
it, then slowly tilt the engine down.
Loosen the steering friction adjuster by
turning it counterclockwise, and adjust
the steering friction according to opera-
tor preference.
q Use extra care when operating in re-
verse. Too much reverse thrust can
cause the outboard motor to lift out of
the water, increasing the chance of ac-
cident and personal injury.

WARNING
q Return the outboard motor to its normal
position as soon as the boat is back in
deeper water.
If there is too much resistance it could be
difficult to steer, which could result in an
accident.
