Water Test and Final Adjustments
Check the tilt limit on all new outboard installa-
tions.
Check the clearance between outboard(s) and the
boat’s motor well and transom area. Tilt out-
board(s) to highest point of clearance and turn the
steering system lock to lock.
If the outboard contacts the boat's motor well
when fully tilted, set the tilt limit to reduce full-tilt
position.
To prevent damage to equipment, provide addi-
tional motor well clearance when needed. Con-
sider either changing the outboard mounting
position or modifying the boat if the possibility for
interference and damage exists.
Manual Method
You MUST use the trim switch on the starboard
engine cover to set the tilt limit with this method.
Tilt the engine up to the desired maximum tilt posi-
tion.
Then, simultaneously press and hold for at least
three seconds, both the up and down trim buttons.
Check your adjustment — tilt the outboard fully
and adjust further, if necessary. Check after each
adjustment.
To change or clear this setting, tilt the engine to
the full down position.
Then, simultaneously press and hold for at least
three seconds, both the up and down trim buttons.
Diagnostic Software Method
Your Dealer must use Evinrude Diagnostic soft-
ware v 6.1 or higher to limit maximum tilt-up.
Check your adjustment — tilt the outboard fully
and adjust further, if necessary. Check after each
adjustment.
Repeat this procedure until the tilt limit stops the
outboard's upward travel before it contacts the
motor well.
WARNING
Adjusting the tilt limit will NOT prevent the
outboard from tilting fully and contacting the
motor well if the gearcase hits an object at
high speed. Such contact could damage the
outboard and boat and injure boat occupants.
