Carrying Outboard
The outboard has a carrying handle located in front and a rear hand grip in the bottom cowl.

Trailering Boat/Outboard
The boat should be trailered with the outboard tilted down in a vertical operating position.
3021
IMPORTANT: The tilt lock and shallow water drive feature (tiller handle models) on the outboard are not intended
to support the outboard in the tilted position when trailering.
If additional ground clearance is required, the outboard should be tilted up using an accessory outboard support
device. Refer to your local dealer for recommendations. Additional clearance may be required for railroad
crossings, driveways and trailer bouncing.
Shift the outboard to forward gear. This prevents the propeller from spinning freely.
Transporting Outboard When Removed From Boat
1. With the outboard still in the water, disconnect the fuel line from the outboard and run engine until it stops.
This will drain fuel from the carburetor. Remove outboard from the boat and hold upright until all cooling
water is drained out.
2. Lay the outboard down horizontally on its tiller handle side. Place a protective pad under the outboard.
