Product Information
the boat pulled to the left, move the rear of the
trim tab slightly to the left.
Tighten the trim tab screw to a torque of 35-40
ft. lbs. (47-54 N·m).
Test the boat and, if needed, repeat the pro-
cedure until steering effort is as equal as pos-
sible.

The idle RPM in gear setting can be adjusted,
if desired, to provide more idle control, steer-

IMPORTANT: Only your Dealer can adjust
the idle RPM in gear setting.
Tilt Limiter Cam – 3-Cylinder Models
With Power Trim and Tilt
If your outboard contacts the boat’s motor well
while tilting, adjust the tilt limiter cam to limit
maximum tilt-up.
Place the outboard in its normal operating po-
sition. Rotate the tilt limiter cam — pull its tab
forward and up to REDUCE the amount of tilt
UP.
Check your adjustment — tilt the outboard ful-
ly and adjust further, if necessary. Return the
outboard to vertical position for each adjust-
ment, and repeat your check after each ad-
justment.
Trim Tab Screw DR5158
WARNING
Adjusting the tilt limiter cam will NOT
prevent the outboard from tilting fully
and contacting the motor well if the gear-
case hits an object at high speed. Such
contact could damage the outboard and
boat and injure boat occupants.
