POWER TILT SWITCH
Press the power tilt switch on the
control lever (R type) or tiller handle
(H type), and the outboard motor
installation angle (tilt angle) can be
adjusted only while stopping the boat.
Power tilt is a convenience for tilting
the outboard motor, shallow water
operation, and trailering only. It is
not designed to be used as a trim
function to adjust the trim angle of
the boat.
Excessive trim angle can result in
cavitation and racing of the propeller,
and tilting up the outboard motor
excessively can cause damage to the
impeller pump.
During shallow water operation,
beaching, launching, or mooring,
proceed at low speed with a small
throttle opening and tilt the outboard
motor up as necessary (see page ).98
