BASIC TILTING OPERATION
The tilt feature allows the operator to tilt the outboard to a higher tilt angle for
operation in shallow water, or tilt the outboard to the full up position.
When running the outboard, keep the tilt lever in the release position. This
allows the outboard to return to the running position if the outboard should hit
an underwater obstacle and be lifted up.
Moving the tilt lever to the tilt position will allow the outboard to lock into the
shallow water drive position or the full up position.
