Using Your E-TEC Outboard
TRIM ANGLE ADJUSTMENT
WARNING
pact with underwater objects at low to moder-
ate speeds.
High speed impacts with rigid underwater ob-
jects like pilings or boulders can be beyond
the capability of the absorption system.
Boat stability and steering torque can
vary due to changing water conditions.
If any adverse conditions occur, reduce
throttle and/or adjust tilt angle to main-
tain control. If you experience boat
instability and/or high steering torque,
see your Dealer to correct these condi-
tions.
Such impacts can result in serious damage to
your outboard and injury to boat occupants
from the outboard or its parts entering the
boat. Occupants can also be ejected or in-
jured by falling against portions of the boat as
a result of rapid deceleration following im-
pacts.
When boating in unfamiliar, shallow, or de-
bris-laden waters, seek information on safe
boating areas and navigation hazards from a
reliable local source.
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.
Reduce your speed and keep a sharp look-
out!
The outboard should be perpendicular to the
water when the boat is underway at full
speed. This adjustment can only be deter-
mined by water testing the boat. Set angle ad-
justment for your normal load.
IMPORTANT: Impact damage is NOT cov-
ered by the outboard warranty.
Place the outboard in full TILT position. Refer
to Tilt Support Bracket on page 21.
