MOORING, BEACHING,
LAUNCHING
Before tilting up, leave the outboard
motor in the running position for one
minute after stopping the engine to
drain the water from inside the
engine.
Stop the engine and disconnect the
fuel hose from the outboard motor
before tilting the outboard motor.
To raise the outboard motor out of the
water while the engine is stopped and
the boat is moored, or for maximum
clearance when beaching or
launching, use the power tilt switch
on the engine pan to tilt the outboard
motor up as far as it will go.
Move the tilt lock lever to the LOCK
position, and then gently lower the
outboard motor until the lever
contacts the stern bracket. Use the
power tilt switch to fully shorten the
trim rods.
TRIM RODS
If more clearance is needed to swing
the tilt lock lever into the LOCK
position, rock the outboard motor
forward slightly by pulling on the
engine cover grip.
To lower the outboard motor, tilt up,
move the tilt lock lever to the FREE
position, and then lower the outboard
motor to the desired position.
