TRAILERING
Trailering Bracket
To engage bracket — Tilt the outboard fully
using the tilt switch inside the boat or the
trailering tilt switch (on port or starboard side
of engine, depending on configuration).
1. Trailering tilt switch
2. Tilt switch inside boat
Pull down the trailering bracket (see “A” be-
low). A detent will hold the bracket in position.
Lower the outboard until the trailering bracket
locks into place in the stern brackets (see “B”
above).
To disengage bracket — Tilt the outboard
fully. Return the trailering bracket to its
stowed position. Lower the outboard to its ver-
tical position.
The outboard is designed to be trailered in a
vertical position or tilted, using the trailering
bracket. Use the position best suited for your
boat.
Manually Tilting
If needed, the outboard will tilt up or down
manually, using the manual release screw.
WARNING
Keep everyone clear of stern area when
raising or lowering the outboard. Per-
sonal injury or death can result from
contact with moving parts of the out-
board.
A
WARNING
Keep everyone clear of a tilted out-
board when backing out the manual
release screw. The outboard could
drop suddenly and forcibly. Be sure to
tighten the manual release screw after
manually repositioning the outboard.
Tightening the screw also reactivates
the outboard’s impact protection and
reverse thrust capability.
