FEATURES AND CONTROLS
eng 75
Adjusting the outboard away from the boat transom can:
• Lift the bow out of the water.
• Generally increase top speed.
• Increase clearance over submerged objects or a shallow
bottom.
• Increase steering torque or pull to the left at a normal
installation height.
• In excess can cause boat porpoising (bouncing) or propeller
ventilation.
Adjusting Transom Angle
1. Stop the engine. Shift the outboard into forward. Raise the
engine to one of the tilt release positions. Change the preset
knob position and lower the outboard to the preset transom
angle position.
2. Repeat step number one if the transom angle needs further
adjustment.
a - Transom angle settings
b - Tilt release position
Shallow Water Operation
There are three (3) shallow water drive positions that enable the
outboard to be tilted up to prevent hitting the bottom.
1. Stop the engine. Shift the outboard into neutral. Tilt the
outboard up to one of the shallow water drive positions.
Ensure the water intake is submerged.
