SHALLOW WATER POSITION
To set the shallow water position:
1. Shift into "NEUTRAL".
2. Move the release lever 1 to the release
position.
3. Slowly tilt the motor up until you hear it make
a "click" sound.
4. Slowly lower the motor. It will stop in a posi-
tion that is slightly tilted up from the normal
trim angle.
NOTE:
There are two shallow water positions. Use
whichever one is appropriate, depending on the
depth of the water.
To lower the motor back down:
1. Move the release lever 1 to the lock posi-
tion.
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.
