Using Your E-TEC Outboard
IMPORTANT: DO NOT use the tilt support le-
ver while trailering. Refer to Trailering on
page 27.
WARNING
When operating in rough water or
crossing a wake, excessive bow-up
trim may result in the boat’s bow sud-
denly rising skyward, possibly ejecting
or otherwise seriously injuring occu-
pants.
Engaging Tilt Support Lever
If you intend to leave the outboard tilted for a
period of time, engage the tilt support lever:
1) Tilt the outboard UP using the trailering tilt
switch.
Some boat/outboard/propeller combi-
nations may encounter boat instability
and/or high steering torque when oper-
ated at high speed at or near the out-
board’s trim range limits (full bow-up or
bow-down). Boat stability and steering
torque can also vary due to changing
water conditions. If any adverse condi-
occur, reduce throttle and/or
adjust trim angle to maintain control. If
you experience boat instability and/or
high steering torque, see your Dealer to
correct these conditions.

ver rests solidly on the stern brackets.

travel of the power trim. If your outboard is not Disengaging Tilt Support Lever
