MANUAL TILTING
If the outboard cannot be tilted using the power trim/tilt switch, the outboard can
be manually tilted.
Turn out the manual tilt release valve three turns counterclockwise. This allows
manual tilting of the outboard. Tilt the outboard to the desired position and
tighten the manual tilt release valve.
NOTE: The manual tilt release valve must be tightened before operating the
outboard to prevent the outboard from tilting up during reverse operation.
AUXILIARY TILT SWITCH
The auxiliary tilt switch can be used to tilt the outboard up or down using the
power trim system.
