Tilt Pin Adjustment
WARNING
DO NOT operate boat without the tilt pin in-
stalled. Failure to install tilt pin could result in
outboard kicking up when operated in reverse
causing serious injury, death, or property dam-
age.

to be driven parallel to the water.

a - Tilt Pin
Consider the following lists carefully when adjusting
the tilt pin.
PLACING TILT PIN IN LOWER HOLES CAN:
1. Lower the bow.
2. Result in quicker planing off, especially with a
heavy load or a stern heavy boat.
3. Generally improve the ride in choppy water.
4. Increase steering torque or pull to the right (with
the normal right hand rotation propeller).
5. In excess, lowerthe bowofsomeboatstoapoint

ter while on plane. This can result in an unex-
pected turn in either direction called “bow steer-
ing” or “over steering” if any turn is attempted or
if a significant wave is encountered.
