NOTICE
If you let the lower unit of your outboard sit
higher than the power head during transport-
ing or storing, water may trickle into the
power head, causing damage to the engine.
Never let the lower unit sit higher than the
power head when transporting or storing your
outboard.
TRAILERING
When trailering your boat with the motor
attached, keep the motor in the normal operat-
ing position unless there is not enough ground
clearance. If you need more ground clearance,
trailer the motor in a tilted position using a tran-
som saver bar or similar device to support the
weight of the motor.
NOTICE
If you use the tilt up lock arm/knob to hold the
motor in the fully tilted up position when
trailering the boat, towing motion or poor road
surfaces may cause unexpected tilt lock
release, resulting in damage to the motor and
the tilt lock mechanism.
Never use the tilt up lock arm/knob to hold the
motor in the fully tilted up position when
trailering the boat. Use a transom saver bar or
similar device to support the weight of the
motor.
