Tilt Limiter Cam
LUBRICATION
Gearcase
If your outboard contacts the boat’s motor well
while tilting, adjust the tilt limiter cam to limit maxi-
mum tilt-up:
Replace gearcase lubricant after first 10 hours of
operation. Check level and condition of lubricant af-
ter next 50 hours of operation. Add lubricant if nec-
essary.
Thereafter, check level and condition of lubricant
every 50 hours. Replace lubricant every 100 hours
of operation or once each season, whichever oc-
curs first. Refill with Ultra-HPF gearcase lubricant.
If not available, Hi-Vis™ or other marine gearcase
lube can be used, however, long term durability
may be affected with continued use. See your Deal-
er.
IMPORTANT: The recommended gear lubricants
include special additives for marine applications.
Do not use automotive gear lubricants, 2-stroke or
4-stroke
engine oil, or any other oil or grease for

gearcase applications.
Rotate the tilt limiter cam — pull its tab forward and
up to REDUCE the amount of tilt UP.
Check your adjustment — tilt the outboard fully and
adjust further, if necessary. Return the outboard to
vertical position for each adjustment, and repeat
your check after each adjustment.
With motor in normal operating position:
1)
Remove drain/fill plug and lubricant level plug
from side of gearcase and completely drain
gearcase of old lubricant.
2)
Examine drained lubricant for metal filings,
milky appearance, or black color with burnt
odor. If old lubricant has any of those charac-
teristics, see your Dealer. If drained lubricant
is in good condition, continue.
WARNING
3)
Place tube of lubricant in drain/fill hole and fill
slowly until lubricant appears at lubricant lev-
el hole. See Engine Specifications for gear-
case capacity.
Adjusting the tilt limiter cam will NOT pre-
vent the outboard from tilting fully and con-
tacting the motor well if the gearcase hits an
object at high speed. Such contact could
damage the outboard and boat and injure
boat occupants.
4)
5)
Install lubricant level plug before removing
tube from drain/fill hole. Drain/fill plug can
then be installed without loss of lubricant.
Securely tighten both plugs.
