Trailering Boat/Outboard - Mercury 10 EFI FourStroke Installation, Operation & Maintenance Manual

• The port side lower cowl has two bumpers to help reduce damage to
the cowl when the engine is stored in the laying down position. Storing
the engine on the port side will prevent oil from draining out of the
crankcase into the cylinders or crankcase ventilation system. There
are bumpers on the aft side of the cowl also.

Trailering Boat/Outboard

Trailer your boat with the outboard tilted down in a vertical operating position.
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.
IMPORTANT: Do not rely on the power tilt system or the tilt support lever to
maintain proper ground clearance for trailering. The outboard tilt support lever
is not intended to support the outboard for trailering.
