Trailering - Evinrude E25RSES Operator's Manual

Using Your E-TEC Outboard
Manual Release Valve
If needed, the outboard will tilt up or down
manually, using the manual release valve.
WARNING
Keep everyone clear of a tilted out-
board when backing out the manual
release screw. The outboard could
drop suddenly and forcibly. Be sure to
tighten the manual release screw after
manually repositioning the outboard.
Tightening the screw also reactivates
the outboard's impact protection and
reverse thrust capability.
1) Turn the manual release screw counter-
clockwise, slowly (about 3 1/2 turns), until
it lightly contacts its retaining ring.
2) Reposition the outboard.
3) Tighten the manual release valve to hold
the outboard in its new position.

TRAILERING

Trailer your boat with the outboard in a verti-
cal position. If your trailer does not provide ad-
equate road clearance, support the outboard
with an accessory trailering bracket.
IMPORTANT: The outboard must be re-
strained when trailering. Bouncing during
transport may damage the outboard and the
boat's transom.
IMPORTANT: Use of the tilt support bracket
or tilt lock lever when trailering may cause
damage to the outboard.
