Operation In Shallow Water; Operating The Troll Mode - Suzuki DF150AP Owner's Manual

OPERATION IN SHALLOW WATER

When operating your boat in shallow water, it
may be necessary to tilt the motor higher than
the normal trim angle. When you tilt the motor
beyond the normal trim angle, however, you
should only operate the boat at slow speeds.
After returning to deep water, be sure to lower
the motor to the normal trim angle.
To tilt the motor higher than the normal trim
angle, use the Power Trim and Tilt switch.
 WARNING
When the motor is beyond the maximum
trim position, the swivel bracket will not
have side support from the clamp bracket
and the tilt system will be unable to cush-
ion the engine if the lower unit strikes an
obstruction. This could lead to occupant
injury. In addition, beyond the maximum
trim position, the water intake holes may
be above the water line, which can result
in severe engine damage from overheat-
ing.
Do not operate the engine above 1500
r/min or operate the boat in a planing atti-
tude with the engine beyond the maxi-
mum trim position.
NOTICE
If the motor hits bottom, serious damage
can occur.
Do not allow the motor to hit bottom. If
the motor does strike bottom, inspect it
immediately for damage.
