deteriorates the function of the
anode metal, which can lead to rust
and corrosion damage to the

The anode metal is a sacrificed metal
which protects the outboard motor
from corrosion.
Use the tilt lock lever to raise the
outboard motor and lock it in the
position when the boat is moored or
anchored for a long time.
Tilt the outboard motor as far as it
goes and move the lock lever in the
locking direction.
Use the tilt lever to temporarily raise
the outboard motor when the boat is
sailing in the shallows, or mooring or
anchoring in the shallows.
Raising the tilt lever unlocks the
outboard motor and the outboard
motor can be tilted. Lowering the tilt
lever locks the outboard motor.
