SHALLOW WATER OPERATION
When operating the boat in shallow water, the outboard can be tilted beyond the maximum trim range
to prevent hitting bottom.
1. Reduce engine speed below 2000 RPM.
2. Tilt outboard up, keeping the water intake holes submerged at all times.
3. Operate the engine at slow speed only. If engine speed exceeds 2000 RPM, the outboard will
automatically return down to the maximum trim range.
Manual Tilt System
Models without power trim are equipped with a tilt assist system that allows the operator to easily tilt and
lock the outboard at any tilt position from full down to full up.
This tilt system is designed to be adjusted when the outboard is idling in neutral or with the engine turned
off.
Before operating, the outboard must be locked in its tilt position by moving the tilt lock lever to the lock/
run position.
!
WARNING
Operating the engine without engaging the tilt lock lever can cause serious injury or death. The
outboard can tilt upwards when decelerating or operating in reverse, causing loss of boat control.
Always lock the outboard in its run position before operating.
