Trailering Boat/Outboard

The boat should be trailered with the outboard tilted down in a
vertical operating position.
IMPORTANT: Do not rely on the power trim/tilt system or tilt
support lever to maintain proper ground clearance for trailering.
The outboard tilt support lever is not intended to support the
outboard for trailering.
If additional ground clearance is required, the outboard should
be tilted up using an accessory outboard support device. Refer
to your local dealer for recommendations. Additional clearance
may be required for railroad crossings, driveways and trailer
bouncing.
