Shallow Water Drive

WARNING
When in shallow water drive, your motor
has no protection from the effects of
underwater impact.
Operate the motor in FORWARD and
ONLY at slow speed. The motor can tilt
up forcibly and drop suddenly if it hits an
underwater object or if you shift to
REVERSE and apply throttle. You could
lose control.
Tilt the outboard to any position within the tilt
range for shallow water operation.
NOTICE
When operating a tilted outboard, do not
run above idle speed. Keep the water
intakes submerged at all times to pre-
vent the engine from overheating.
Engaging Shallow Water Drive
Slow the engine and shift to NEUTRAL before
engaging or disengaging shallow-water drive.
Move tilt/run lever to TILT position.
Grasp tilt grip on engine cover and tilt out-
board until shallow water drive link engages
tilt pin.
Relocate the tilt pin if necessary. Refer to Tilt
Pin on page 26.
