TRANSPORTING

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 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.
