SHALLOW WATER OPERATION
When operating your boat in shallow water, you can tilt the outboard beyond
the maximum trim range to prevent hitting bottom.
1. Reduce the engine speed below 2000 RPM.
2. Tilt the outboard up. Make sure all the water intake holes stay 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.
!
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.
Before operating, the outboard must be locked in its tilt position by moving the
tilt lock lever to the lock/run position.
