Power Tilt (if equipped)
This outboard has a tilt control called power tilt. This enables the operator to
easily adjust the position of the outboard by pressing the tilt switch. With the
engine turned off, the outboard can be tilted out of the water. At low idle speed,
the outboard can also be tilted up to permit shallow water operation.
