TILT LIMITER CAM
If the outboard motor contacts the motor well of
the boat while tilting, adjust the tilt limiter cam to
limit maximum tilt position.
1. Place the motor in the normal running posi-
tion.
2. Rotate the tilt limiter cam:
To reduce the amount of tilt, move the tab A
of cam upward.
To increase the amount of tilt, move the tab
A of cam downward.
3. To check your adjustment, tilt the motor fully
up to check for motor contact.
Adjust further if necessary.
Return the motor to the normal running posi-
tion for each adjustment, and repeat your
check after each adjustment.
WARNING
Adjusting the tilt limiter cam will not pre-
vent the outboard motor from tilting fully
up and contacting the motor well if the
motor’s lower unit hits an object at high
speed. Such tilting could damage your
motor and boat and injure boat occu-
pants.
Keep all occupants away from the motor
when operating at high speed.
