Trim/tilt motor protection

Caution!
Always allow the trim/tilt switch to return to its center
position when the drive unit reaches its maximum raised
or lowered position. This precaution will prevent your
trim/tilt motor from overheating.

Impact protection

The trim/tilt system provides impact protection for the drive
unit. If an impact occurs, the drive will "kick up," thereby help-
ing to minimize drive damage. Impact damage, however, can
occur in either FORWARD or REVERSE directions. You must
be careful when
You operate in FORWARD or REVERSE
You are backing at low speeds
You trailer your boat
You launch your boat.
Note!
Impact damage is more likely to occur when you
are in a turn where side loads are placed on the
drive unit.
