Operation - Mercury 200 Verado Manual

1. 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.
AUXILIARY TILT SWITCH
The auxiliary tilt switch can be used to tilt the outboard up or down using the power trim system.
SHALLOW WATER OPERATION
When operating your boat in shallow water, you can tilt the outboard beyond the maximum trim range
to prevent hitting bottom.
1. Reduce engine speed below 2000 RPM.
2. Tilt outboard up. Make sure all the water intake holes stay submerged at all times.
3. Operate the engine at slow speed only. With the outboard tilted past 20° trim limit, the warning
horn will sound and engine speed will be automatically limited to approximately 2000 RPM. The
outboard must be tilted (trimmed) down below the maximum trim range to allow operation above
2000 RPM.
