TRANSPORTING

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.
