Manual Release Valve
WARNING
Keep everyone clear of a tilted outboard
when backing out the manual release
screw. The outboard could drop sud-
denly and forcibly. Be sure to tighten the
manual release screw after manually
repositioning the outboard. Tightening
the screw also reactivates the out-
board's impact protection and reverse
thrust capability.

If needed, the outboard will tilt up or down
manually, using the manual release valve.
1) Turn the manual release screw counter-
clockwise, slowly (about 3 1/2 turns), until
it lightly contacts its retaining ring.
2) Reposition the outboard.
3) Tighten the manual release valve to hold
the outboard in its new position.
