not designed to be used as a trim
function to adjust the trim angle of
the boat.
During shallow water operation,
beaching, launching, or mooring,
proceed at low speed with a small
throttle opening and tilt the motor up
as necessary (p. 59 ).

MANUAL RELIEF VALVE
※ : Do not turn this screw. If this
screw is turned hydraulic oil
will bleed out of the power tilt
system. Should this happen it
will be necessary to consult your
authorized Honda Marine dealer
and have the system refilled.
The outboard motor can be tilted
manually after opening the manual
relief valve. This allows the outboard
motor to be tilted when no battery is
connected.
