TILTING UP/DOWN
If the engine will be stopped for some
time, or if the boat is moored in shallows,
the engine should be tilted up to protect
the propeller and casing from damage by
collision with obstructions, and also to
reduce salt corrosion.

8 Before tilting the motor, follow the pro-
cedures under “STOPPING ENGINE”.
Never tilt the motor while the engine is
running. Severe damage from over-
heating can result.
8 Do not tilt up the engine by pushing
the steering handle as this could break
the handle.
8 Keep the power unit higher than the
propeller at all times. Otherwise, water
can run into the cylinder, causing dam-
age.
w
Be sure all people are clear of the out-
board motor when adjusting the tilt
angle, also be careful not to pinch any
body parts between the drive unit and
engine bracket.

3) To return the engine to the normal
position, put the engine in Neutral,
then slightly tilt up the engine. Set the
tilt-lock lever and shallow water lever
to the lock position and slowly tilt the
engine down.
