TILTING OUTBOARD TO FULL UP POSITION
1. Stop the engine.
2. Shift the outboard to forward gear position.

way up until it locks in place.
LOWERING OUTBOARD DOWN TO RUN POSITION
Position the tilt lever to the release position. Raise outboard
slightly to release it from its locked position and gently lower it.
SHALLOW WATER OPERATION
The shallow water drive position on the outboard allows you to
position the outboard at a higher tilt angle to prevent hitting
bottom.
IMPORTANT: Before tilting outboard into shallow water drive
position, reduce engine speed to idle and shift engine into
forward gear.
IMPORTANT: While in shallow water drive position, do not
operate the outboard in reverse. Operate the outboard at slow
speed and keep the cooling water intake submerged.
