Figure 4.8 shows the Outboard trimmed one degree (clockwise on the diagram) from
perpendicular. The full range of tilt/trim motion for the Outboard is -2.7° to 67.1°.
The tilt/trim is not meant to be operated continuously for longer than 45 seconds. Safety
features are incorporated that will cause the tilt/trim to temporarily stop operating after 45
seconds to prevent it from being damaged. After waiting 10 seconds, the tilt/trim operation
can resume.
4.2.6 Tilt Lock
Engage the tilt lock to lock the Outboard in the tilted up position during storage and transport.
Using the lock reduces the pressure on the hydraulic tilt/trim assembly.
When trailering, be sure to use a transom saver to support the Outboard (see Section 8 for
trailering instructions). Do not rely on the tilt/trim or the tilt lock alone to keep the Outboard up
while trailering. They are not intended to support the Outboard while trailering.
To engage the tilt lock:
1. Raise the Outboard to the fully tilted up position.
2. Flip the tilt lock into the locked position.

3. Lower the Outboard for approximately 4 seconds until it rests on the tilt lock.
