NOTICE
If the engine speed is suddenly in-
●
creased when the outboard motor is
partially tilted up, the power trim and tilt
unit could be damaged.
Do not tilt the outboard motor up so
●
that the cooling water inlet on the lower
unit is above the surface of the water
when setting up for and cruising in
shallow water. Otherwise severe dam-
age from overheating can result.
TIP:
F350A, FL350A: When the outboard motor is
partially tilted up for shallow water operation,
the engine speed may be controlled around
2500 r/min. This occurs due to protect the
power trim and tilt unit and does not indicate
a malfunction. For instructions on de-activat-
ing the engine speed control system, see
page 80.

and tilt switch. WARNING! Using the
power trim and tilt switch on the bot-

distract the operator, increasing the
risk of collision with another boat or
an obstacle.
