CONTROLS AND FEATURES
Steering Friction Lever
STEERING FRlkTlON
LEVER
The steering friction lever adjusts steering
resistance.
Less friction allows the outboard motor to
turn more easily. More friction helps to
hold steady course while cruising or to
prevent the outboard motor from
swinging while trailering the boat.
Tilt Lever
The tilt lever enables the outboard motor
to be raised for shallow water operation,
beaching, launching, or mooring.
To tilt, move the lever to the TILT
position, then raise the outboard motor
until the tilt mechanism engages at 30",
45", or 7 1' (p.48).
INSTRUMENTS
Fuel Gauge
FUEL GAUGE
A fuel gauge is built into the cap of the
portable fuel tank.
