m FRICTION
Turn the bolt clockwise to increase
friction for holding a steady course
while cruising or to prevent the out-
board motor from swinging while
trailering the boat.
Turn the bolt counterclockwise to
reduce steering friction.
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 en-
gages at 30", 45" or 70" (p. 38).
To return the outboard motor to the
normal running position, move the
tilt lever to the RUN position, raise
the outboard motor slightly to disen-
gage the tilt mechanism, then slowly
lower the engine.
