Using Your E-TEC Outboard
FUEL ECONOMY
Fuel economy can vary depending on boat load, hull design, and throttle setting. When boat
reaches top speed, throttle back from FULL SPEED to a lower throttle setting. You will save
fuel with a minimal loss of speed.
Typical Fuel Economy Throttle Range
1.
2.
Side mount control
Binnacle mount control
POWER TRIM AND TILT
WARNING
Any malfunction of the power trim and tilt unit could result in loss of shock
absorber protection if an underwater obstruction is hit. Malfunction can also result
in loss of reverse thrust capability.
Correct fluid level must be maintained to ensure operation of the impact protection
on this unit.
When operating in rough water or crossing a wake, excessive bow-up trim may
result in the boat’s bow suddenly rising skyward, possibly ejecting or otherwise
seriously injuring occupants.
Some boat/outboard/propeller combinations may encounter boat instability and/or
high steering torque when operated at high speed at or near the outboard’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 conditions occur, reduce
throttle and/or adjust trim angle to maintain control. If you experience boat instabil-
ity and/or high steering torque, see your Dealer to correct these conditions.
Some boats plow, or are difficult to plane, when operated in the trim’s lowest position. If your
boat handles unsuitably when trimmed fully bow-down, set the angle adjusting rod or trim lim-
iter rod to limit the travel of the power trim. If your outboard is not equipped with this rod, pur-
chase one from your Dealer.
WARNING
If the bow of the boat plows the water at high speeds, the boat may bow steer or
spin suddenly, possibly ejecting or otherwise seriously injuring occupants.
