TRAILERING
Power Trim and Tilt Models
Trailering Bracket
The outboard is designed to be trailered in a
vertical position or tilted, using the trailering
bracket. Use the position best suited for your
boat.
To engage bracket — Tilt the outboard fully
using the tilt switch inside the boat or the
trailering tilt switch (on port or starboard side
of engine, depending on configuration).
Pull down the trailering bracket. A detent will
hold the bracket in position.
A WARNING
If engine is equipped with a quick-dis-
connect fuel hose, you MUST disconnect
the fuel hose from the engine and the
fuel tank to prevent fuel leaks:
• Whenever the engine is NOT being
used
• Whenever the engine is being trailered
• Whenever the engine is in storage
NOTE: A small amount of fuel may be
released when the fuel connector is dis-
connected.
Store portable fuel tanks in well-venti-
lated areas, away from heat sources and
open flames. Close the vent screw of the
fuel tank cap, if equipped, to prevent
escape of fuel or fuel vapors which could
accidentally ignite. Do not allow discon-
nected fuel hoses to leak fuel.
A WARNING
Keep everyone clear of stern area when
raising or lowering the outboard. Per-
sonal injury or death can result from
contact with moving parts of the out-
board.
