Shallow Water Operation – Tiller Handle Models
Tiller handle model outboards are equipped with a shallow water tilt feature that
allows you to tilt the outboard to a higher tilt angle to prevent hitting bottom.
ENGAGING SHALLOW WATER DRIVE
1 Reduce engine speed to idle. Shift the outboard into forward gear position.
2 Push down the shallow water drive lever (a). Tilt outboard up to the shallow
water drive position. Be sure the cooling water intake (c) is submerged.
IMPORTANT: While in shallow water drive position, do not operate the
outboard in reverse. Operate the outboard at slow speed and keep the cooling
water intake submerged.
3 To release down to run position, lift up the shallow water drive lever (b). Tilt up
the outboard to disengage the shallow water drive lock and lower it down.
