TRAILERING

When trailering your boat with the motor
attached, keep the motor in the normal operat-
ing position unless there is not enough ground
clearance. If you need more ground clearance,
trailer the motor in a tilted position using a tran-
som saver bar or similar device to support the
weight of the motor.
NOTICE
If you use the tilt lock lever to hold the motor
in the fully tilted up position when trailering
the boat, towing motion or poor road surfaces
may cause unexpected tilt lock release, result-
ing in damage to the motor and the tilt lock
mechanism.
Never use the tilt lock lever to hold the motor
in the fully tilted up position when trailering
the boat. Use a transom saver bar or similar
device to support the weight of the motor.
