if the boat is moored in shallows, the out-
board motor should be tilted up to protect the
propeller and casing from damage by colli-
sion with obstructions, and also to reduce
salt corrosion.
WARNING

Be sure all people are clear of the out-
board motor when tilting up and down,
also be careful not to pinch any body
parts between the drive unit and engine
bracket.

fuel joint on the outboard motor, discon-
nect the fuel line or close the fuel cock if

few minutes. Otherwise fuel may leak.
