Setting the Operating Angle of Your Outboard
The vertical operating angle of your outboard is adjusted by changing the
position of the tilt pin in the adjustment holes provided. Proper adjustment
allows the boat to achieve optimum performance, stability, 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.
Arrange passengers and load in the boat so the weight is distributed evenly.

IMPORTANT: Do not operate the outboard with the tilt pin removed.
Engine Overspeed Protection System
The engine overspeed protection system is activated if the engine speed
should exceed the maximum allowable limit. This will protect the engine from
mechanical damage.
Anytime the engine overspeed protection system is activated, the engine speed
is automatically reduced to within the allowable limit. If engine overspeed
continues, have the outboard checked by your dealer.
