Using Your E-TEC Outboard
POWER TRIM AND TILT
Trim
WARNING
In most operating conditions, it is recom-
mended to trim the outboard to the full down
position when accelerating. Once on plane,
trim the outboard up for best performance.
Over-trimming increases engine RPM while
decreasing speed. The best trim setting is
when the highest speed is achieved with the
lowest engine RPM.
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 capabil-
ity.
Correct fluid level must be maintained
to ensure operation of the impact pro-
tection on this unit.
Shallow Water Drive
You can tilt the outboard to any position with-
in the tilt range but DO NOT run the engine
faster than idle speed. If idling a tilted out-
board, keep its water intakes submerged at
all times.
When operating in rough water or
crossing a wake, excessive bow-up
trim may result in the boat’s bow sud-
denly rising skyward, possibly ejecting
or otherwise seriously injuring occu-
pants.
Tilt
Some boat/outboard/propeller combi-
nations may encounter boat instability
and/or high steering torque when oper-
ated at high speed at or near the out-
board’s trim range limits (full bow-up
or bow-down). Boat stability and steer-
ing torque can also vary due to chang-
ing water conditions. If any adverse
conditions occur, reduce throttle and/
or adjust trim angle to maintain con-
trol. If you experience boat instability
and/or high steering torque, see your
dealer to correct these conditions.
The full tilt is often used to tilt the outboard for
or
clearance
launching.
when
beaching,
mooring,
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 limiter rod to limit the travel of the power
trim. If your outboard is not equipped with this
rod, purchase one from your Dealer.

Trim range
Tilt range
If the tilted outboard’s cover contacts the
boat’s motor well, limit the maximum tilt by fol-
lowing the procedures in Tilt Limiter Cam on
page 50.
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
pants.
