LOWERING OUTBOARD DOWN TO RUN POSITION
Position the tilt lever in the release position. Raise the 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 the outboard to be
positioned at a higher tilt angle, to prevent hitting bottom.
IMPORTANT: Before tilting the outboard into the shallow water drive position,
reduce the engine speed to idle and shift the 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.
1. Reduce the engine speed to idle.
2. Shift the engine into forward gear position.
3. Position the tilt lever to the tilt position.
4. Take hold of the top cowl grip, and tilt up the outboard until it locks in the
shallow water running position.
5. To release the outboard out of shallow water drive, position the tilt lever to
the release position, slightly lift up the outboard, and then gently lower it
down.

SETTING THE OPERATION ANGLE OF THE OUTBOARD
The vertical operating angle of the outboard is adjusted by changing the
position of the tilt pin in the six adjustment holes provided. Proper adjustment
allows the boat to run stable, achieve optimum performance, and minimize
steering effort.
The tilt pin should be adjusted so the outboard is positioned to run
perpendicular to the water, when the boat is running at full speed. This allows
the boat to be driven parallel to the water.
