Trailering - BRP Evinrude E-TEC Operator's Manual

WARNING
Keep everyone clear of stern area when raising or
lowering the outboard. Personal injury or death can
result from contact with moving parts of the out-
board.
Trailering Bracket
To engage bracket — Tilt the outboard fully using the tilt
switch inside the boat or the trailering tilt switch (on port or
starboard side of engine, depending on configuration).
1. Trailering tilt switch
2. Tilt switch inside boat
Pull down the trailering bracket (see "A" below). A detent
will hold the bracket in position. Lower the outboard until
the trailering bracket locks into place in the stern brackets
(see "B" above).
To disengage bracket — Tilt the outboard fully. Return
the trailering bracket to its stowed position. Lower the out-
board to its vertical position.
The outboard is designed to be trailered in a vertical posi-
tion or tilted, using the trailering bracket. Use the position

best suited for your boat.
Manually Tilting
If needed, the outboard will tilt up or down manually, using
the manual release screw.
WARNING
Keep everyone clear of a tilted outboard when back-
ing out the manual release screw. The outboard
could drop suddenly and forcibly. Be sure to tighten
the manual release screw after manually reposition-
ing the outboard. Tightening the screw also reacti-
vates the outboard's impact protection and reverse
thrust capability.
