TRANSPORTING AND TOWING

Trailering Boat/Outboard

When transporting the boat on a trailer, the outboard should be positioned in
the vertical operating position with no additional support required.
71889
If additional ground clearance is required, the outboard should be tilted up as
needed and supported with an accessory transom support device.
71967
Additional clearance may be required for railroad crossings, driveways, and
trailer bouncing. See your local dealer for recommendations.
IMPORTANT: Do not rely on the power trim/tilt system to maintain proper
ground clearance for trailering. The power trim/tilt system is not intended to
support the outboard for trailering.

Towing Boat Through Water

If the boat is being towed by another boat on the water, trim the drives up out of
the water so the propellers are clear.
IMPORTANT: Do not use the drives as a rudder, transmission damage may
occur.
