The term “trim” generally refers to the adjust-
ment of the outboard within the rst 20
0
range of
travel. This is the range used while operating your
boat on plane. The term “tilt” is generally used
when referring to adjusting the outboard further
up for shallow water operation or trailering. For
information on the proper use and maintenance
of the power tilt and trim, refer to the engine
owner’s manual.
CAUTION
THE ENGINE HOSES AND CABLES CAN BE DAMAGED BY
TILTING THE ENGINE TO THE FULL UP POSITION WITH
THE ENGINE TURNED TO THE WRONG POSITION OR
WITH THE OPTIONAL JACK PLATE SET TOO LOW. MOST
BOATS REQUIRE THE STEERING WHEEL TO BE TURNED
COMPLETELY TO STARBOARD AND THE JACK PLATE
APPROXIMATELY HALFWAY (LEVEL 3-4) BEFORE TILTING
THE ENGINE TO THE FULL UP POSITION. YOU SHOULD
MONITOR THE ENGINE AS IT TILTS TO DETERMINE BEST
FULL TILT ENGINE AND JACK PLATE POSITIONS FOR YOUR
BOAT.
CAUTION
SOME AUTOPILOTS HAVE ENGINE POSITION SENSORS
THAT ARE MOUNTED TO THE HYDRAULIC STEERING
CYLINDER. WITH SOME OF THESE AUTOPILOTS, THE
ENGINE POSITION SENSOR BRACKET COULD HIT THE
TRANSOM WHEN THE ENGINE IS TILTED TO THE FULL UP
POSITION AND CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE RIGGING,
THE AUTOPILOT OR THE TRANSOM. IF YOU HAVE AN
AUTOPILOT INSTALLED ON YOUR BOAT, YOU SHOULD
MONITOR THE LOCATION OF THE ENGINE CABLES AND
AUTOPILOT BRACKETS AS THE ENGINE IS TILTED TO
DETERMINE THE BEST ENGINE POSITION AND MAXIMUM
ENGINE TILT FOR YOUR APPLICATION.
4.5 Engine Stop Switch
Your boat is equipped with an engine stop switch
and lanyard. When the lanyard is pulled it will
engage the switch and shut o the engine. We
strongly recommend that the lanyard be attached
to the driver whenever the engine is running. If
the engine will not start, it could be because the
lanyard is not properly inserted into the engine
stop switch. Always make sure the lanyard is
properly attached to the engine stop switch before
attempting to start the engine.
Refer to the engine owner’s manual for more in-
formation on the engine stop switch.
