STEERING FRICTION
When trailering or transporting the
boat with the motor attached, it is
recommended that the motor remain
in the normal run position. Tighten
the steering friction adjuster se-
curely to stop the motor's side to
side movement.
If there is insufficient road clearance
with the motor in the normal run po-
sition, then trailer the motor in the
tilted position using a commercially
available motor support bar (refer to
your motor support bar manufacturer's
instructions) or remove the motor from
the boat.
Close the fuel cap vent knob (refer to
page 29).
Disconnect the fuel coupling from the
outboard motor (refer to page 38).

CASE PRbTECTORS

carburetor dram procedure on page 103.
Always rest the motor on the case
protectors and be sure to protect it
from impact and damage.
