Setting The Operating Angle Of Your Outboard
The vertical operating angle of your outboard is adjusted by changing the position of the tilt pin in the five
adjustment holes provided. The outboard should be locked against this tilt pin by setting the tilt lock lever to the
lock/run position. Proper adjustment allows the boat to achieve optimum performance, stability, and minimize
steering effort.
NOTE: Refer to the following lists when adjusting the operating angle of your outboard.
The tilt pin should be adjusted so the outboard is positioned to run perpendicular to the water when the boat is
running at full speed. This allows the boat to be driven parallel to the water.
Arrange passengers and load in the boat so the weight is distributed evenly.
