Tilt Limiter Cam – 3-Cylinder Models
With Power Trim and Tilt
Adjusting the tilt limiter cam will NOT
prevent the outboard from tilting fully
and contacting the motor well if the gear-
case hits an object at high speed. Such
contact could damage the outboard and
boat and injure boat occupants.
If your outboard contacts the boat's motor well
while tilting, adjust the tilt limiter cam to limit
maximum tilt-up.
DR5158
Place the outboard in its normal operating po-
sition. Rotate the tilt limiter cam — pull its tab
forward and up to REDUCE the amount of tilt
UP.
Check your adjustment — tilt the outboard ful-
ly and adjust further, if necessary. Return the
outboard to vertical position for each adjust-
ment, and repeat your check after each ad-
justment.
