WARNING
Bow Down
Leaking fuel is a fire hazard. If there is a
fuel joint on the outboard motor, discon-
nect the fuel line or close the fuel cock if
the engine will be tilted for more than a
few minutes. Otherwise fuel may leak.
Too much trim-in causes the boat to “plow”
through the water, decreasing fuel economy
and making it hard to increase speed. Oper-
ating with excessive trim-in at higher speeds
also makes the boat unstable. Resistance at
the bow is greatly increased, heightening the
danger of “bow steering” and making opera-
tion difficult and dangerous.

damage from overheating can result.
q
Do not tilt up the engine by pushing the
tiller handle (if equipped) because this
could break the handle.
