FEATURES AND CONTROLS

WARNING

Operating the boat at high speeds with the outboard trimmed

too far under can create excessive bow steer, resulting in the

operator losing control of the boat. Install the trim limit pin in a

position that prevents excessive trim under and operate the

boat in a safe manner.

• In rare circumstances, the owner may decide to limit the

trim in. This can be accomplished by purchasing a stainless

steel tilt pin from your dealer and inserting it in whatever

adjustment hole in the transom brackets is desired. The

nonstainless steel shipping bolt should not be used in this

application other than on a temporary basis.

2. Trimming out or up can:

• Lift the bow higher out of the water.

• Generally increase top speed.

• Increase clearance over submerged objects or a shallow

bottom.

• Increase steering torque or pull to the left at a normal

installation height (with the normal right hand rotation

propeller).

• In excess, can cause boat porpoising (bouncing) or

propeller ventilation.

• Cause engine overheating if any cooling water intake holes

are above the waterline.

TILTING OPERATION

To tilt outboard, shut off the engine and press the trim/tilt switch or

auxiliary tilt switch to the up position. The outboard will tilt up until

the switch is released or it reaches its maximum tilt position.

1. Engage the tilt support lever, by rotating knob to bring the

support lever upward.

2. Lower outboard to rest on the tilt support lever.
