Operation
TIP:

motor trim angle may have little effect on the
trim of the boat when operating.

Tilting up and down

If the engine will be stopped for some time or
if the boat is moored in shallows, the out-
board motor should be tilted up to protect the
propeller and lower casing from damage by
collision with obstructions, and also to re-
duce salt corrosion.

WARNING
Make sure that no one is near the out-
board motor when tilting the outboard
motor up or down. Otherwise, body parts
could be crushed between the outboard
motor and the clamp bracket.

WARNING
Leaking fuel is a fire hazard. If there is a
fuel joint on the outboard motor, discon-
nect the fuel line or close the fuel cock if
the engine will be tilted for more than a
few minutes. Otherwise fuel may leak.
