Power Tilt Switch
(outboard motor pan)
POWER TILT SWITCH
The power tilt switch located on the
outboard motor pan is a convenience
switch for tilting the outboard motor
for trailering, or performing outboard
maintenance. This power tilt switch
should only be operated with the boat
being stopped and engine off.
CONTROLS AND FEATURES (T type)

Manual Relief Valve

POWER MANUAL
(To hold) (To release)
MANUAL RELIEF VALVE
If the power trim/tilt switch will not
tilt the outboard motor, the outboard
motor can be manually tilted up or
down by opening the manual relief
valve. To tilt the outboard motor
manually, turn the manual relief valve
under the left stern bracket no more
than 1 or 2 turns counterclockwise
using a screwdriver.
After tilting the outboard motor, turn
the manual relief valve clockwise
securely.
Check that no person is under the
outboard motor before carrying out
this operation because if the manual
relief valve is loosened (turned
counterclockwise) when the
outboard motor is tilted up, the
outboard motor will suddenly tilt
down.
The manual relief valve must be
tightened securely before operating
the outboard motor or the outboard
motor could tilt up when operating in
reverse.
