To lower the motor back down:
1. Move the tilt lock lever 1 to the lock position.
2. Pull the motor slightly towards you and
slowly let the motor down.
WARNING
When the shallow water position is used, the
tilt lock will not work. As a result, forces such
as from propeller thrust during operation in
“REVERSE” gear, rapid deceleration, and
striking an underwater object can cause the
motor to lift out of the water, resulting in per-
sonal injury.
When using the shallow water position, pro-
ceed with caution and only at very low
speeds.
