Operation

NOTE:

Depending on the type of boat, the outboard

motor trim angle may have little effect on the

trim of the boat when operating.

EMU27931

Tilting up and down

If the engine will be stopped for some time or

if the boat is moored in shallows, the outboard

motor should be tilted up to protect the propel-

ler and casing from damage by collision with

obstructions, and also to reduce salt corro-

sion.

WARNING

EWM00220

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.

WARNING

EWM00250

Leaking fuel is a fire hazard. If there is a

fuel joint on the outboard motor, discon-

nect the fuel line or close the fuel cock if

the engine will be tilted for more than a few

minutes. Otherwise fuel may leak.

CAUTION:

ECM00241

● Before tilting the outboard motor, stop

the engine by following the procedure

on page 25. Never tilt the outboard mo-

tor while the engine is running. Severe

damage from overheating can result.

● Do not tilt up the engine by pushing the

tiller handle (if equipped) because this

could break the handle.

EMU27975

Procedure for tilting up (manual tilt

models)

1. Place the gear shift lever in neutral.

2. Disconnect the fuel line from the out-

board motor.

3. Place the tilt lock lever (if equipped) in the

release/up position.
