SHALLOW-WATER DRIVE
Tilt the motor up until you hear a “click” sound and
it is held in the fully tilted up position.
The motor’s depth in shallow-water drive is con-
trolled by the position of the motor angle adjusting
rod. Relocate the motor angle adjusting rod if nec-
essary. Refer to Motor Angle Adjustment.
Slow the engine and shift to NEUTRAL before en-
gaging or disengaging shallow-water drive.
WARNING
When
using
the
Shallow-Water
Drive
Bracket, the Tilt Lock feature will not work.
Operate your motor in FORWARD and ONLY
at slow speed. The motor can tilt up forcibly
and drop suddenly if it hits an underwater
object or if you shift to REVERSE and apply
throttle. You could lose control.
Slowly, lower motor until shallow-water drive brack-
et rests against angle adjusting rod.
IMPORTANT: Check often that water intakes are
completely submerged and the water pump indica-
tor is discharging a steady stream of water.
Move the tilt lock lever to the RELEASE position.
MOORING
You may moor your boat with the motor’s gearcase
out of the water by using its tilt feature. Depending
on the model, refer to Tilting.
