locks in place.
LOWERING OUTBOARD DOWN TO RUN POSITION
Position the tilt lever to the release position. Raise the outboard slightly to
release it from its locked position and gently lower it.
SHALLOW WATER OPERATION
The shallow water drive position on the outboard allows you to position the
outboard at a higher tilt angle to prevent hitting bottom.
IMPORTANT: Before tilting the outboard into the shallow water drive position,
reduce the engine speed to idle and shift the engine into forward gear.
IMPORTANT: While in the shallow water drive position, do not operate the
outboard in reverse. Operate the outboard at slow speed and keep the cooling
water intake submerged.
