Tilt Lever

TILT LEVER
Use the tilt lever to temporarily raise
the outboard motor when the boat is
running in the shallows, or mooring
or anchoring in the shallows.
Raising the tilt lever unlocks the
outboard motor and the outboard
motor can be tilted. Lowering the tilt
lever locks the outboard motor.
Be sure to lower the tilt lever and
lock the outboard motor before
sailing. The outboard motor could
rise when sailing in the reverse
gear, resulting in an accidental
injury to the passenger(s).

Anode Metal

The anode metal is a sacrificed metal
which protects the outboard motor
from corrosion.
Do not paint the anode metal. It
deteriorates the function of the
anode metal, which can lead to rust
and corrosion damage to the
outboard motor.

COOLING WATER CHECK HOLE
