If additional ground clearance is required, the outboard should be
tilted up using an accessory outboard support device. Refer to your
local dealer for recommendations. Additional clearance may be
required for railroad crossings, driveways and trailer bouncing.
IMPORTANT: Do not rely on the power tilt system or tilt support
lever to maintain proper ground clearance for trailering. The
outboard tilt support lever is not intended to support the outboard
for trailering.
Shift the outboard to forward gear. This prevents the propeller from
spinning freely.

tilted up using the shallow water drive/trailering bracket. Additional
clearance may be required for railroad crossings, driveways, and
trailer bouncing.
IMPORTANT: The tilt lock lever should be used to lock the
outboard down when trailering. This will prevent the outboard from
bouncing and causing possible damage to the outboard.
