When planing, the outboard should be positioned vertical or tilted
in toward the boat to provide a scooping angle on the water
intake grate. Tilting the outboard out beyond a vertical position
reduces the scoop angle and can cause impeller slippage and
cavitation burns on the impeller blades.
TILTING OPERATION
To tilt outboard, shut off the engine and press the trim/tilt switch
or auxiliary tilt switch to the up position. The outboard will tilt up
until the switch is released or it reaches its maximum tilt position.
1. Engage the tilt support lever by rotating the knob to bring the
support lever upward.
2. Lower the outboard to rest on the tilt support lever.
3. Disengage the tilt support lever by raising the outboard off
the support lever and rotating the lever down. Lower the
outboard.
MANUAL TILTING
If the outboard cannot be tilted using the power trim/tilt switch,
the outboard can be manually tilted.
NOTE: The manual tilt release valve must be tightened before
operating the outboard to prevent the outboard from tilting up
during reverse operation.
