Manual Release Valve
Keep everyone clear of a tilted outboard
when backing out the manual release
screw. The outboard could drop sud-
denly and forcibly. Be sure to tighten the
manual release screw after manually
repositioning the outboard. Tightening
the screw also reactivates the outboard's
impact protection and reverse thrust
capability.
If needed, the outboard will tilt up or down
manually, using the manual release valve.
1) Turn the manual release screw counter-
clockwise, slowly (about 3 1/2 turns), until
it lightly contacts its retaining ring.
2) Reposition the outboard.
