ENOW00072-0
CAUTION
When trailering the outboard motor should
be in a vertical (normal running) position,
fully down. Trailering in the tilted position
may cause damage to the outboard motor,
boat, etc.
If trailering with outboard motor fully down
is not available (the gear case skeg is too
close to the road in a vertical position), fix
the outboard motor securely using a device
(like a transom saver bar) in the tilted posi-
tion.
