TRANSPORTING
WITH OUTBOARD MOTOR
INSTALLED ON BOAT
When trailering a boat with the
outboard motor attached, always
disconnect the fuel line from the
portable fuel tank and tighten the
friction lever securely (p. 61).
The preferred method is to leave the
engine in the normal running
position, but if there is insufficient
road clearance, you can tilt the
outboard motor using a commercially
available outboard motor support bar
available through your dealer. Refer
to the manufacturer’s instructions for
using an outboard motor support bar.
WITH OUTBOARD MOTOR
REMOVED FROM BOAT
Secure the outboard motor in either
the vertical or horizontal position
shown on p. 99.
To carry, hold the outboard motor by
the carrying handle, or hold by the
carrying handle and the lug beneath
the engine cover lock latch, as shown.
Lifting the outboard motor by the
engine cover, or using the installed
outboard motor as a handle or lever
to move the boat, can damage the
outboard motor.
