Manual Gas Assisted Tilt System - Tiller Handle Models

Models equipped with a gas assisted tilt system allows the operator to easily tilt and lock the outboard at any tilt
position from full down to full up.
This tilt system is designed to be adjusted when the outboard is idling in neutral or with the engine turned off.
Before operating, the outboard must be locked in its tilt position by moving the tilt lock lever to the lock/run position.
Before operating, the outboard must be locked in its lock/run position. Failure to lock the outboard in its lock/
run position could result in the outboard tilting up out of the water during deceleration or while operating in
reverse, resulting in possible loss of boat control. Loss of boat control can result in serious injury, death, or boat
damage.
BASIC TILTING OPERATION

back to the lock/run position.
