BASIC TILTING OPERATION
The tilt feature allows the operator to tilt the outboard to a higher
tilt angle for operation in shallow water, or tilt the outboard to the
full up position.
When running the outboard, keep the tilt lever in the release
position. This allows the outboard to return to the running position
if the outboard should hit an underwater obstacle and be lifted up.
Moving the tilt lever to the tilt position will allow the outboard to lock
into the shallow water drive position or the full up position.
