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 up lock arm 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, resulting in damage to the
motor and the tilt lock mechanism.
Never use the tilt up lock arm 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.
