OPERATION
To return the outboard motor to the
normal operating position, move the
tilt lever to the LOCK (RUN)
position. You may need to raise the
outboard motor slightly to disengage
the tilt mechanism, and then slowly
lower the outboard motor.
T Type
When operating in shallow water, use
the power tilt switch to tilt the
outboard motor, so the propeller and
gear case won’t hit the bottom.
Proceed at low speed, and monitor
water flow from the cooling system
indicator (p. 34) to be sure the
outboard motor is not tilted so high
that the water intakes are out of the
water.
An excessive trim/tilt angle during
operation can cause propeller
ventilation, overheating, and water
pump damage. This type of damage is
not covered by the Distributor’s
Limited Warranty (U.S.) /
Distributor’s Warranty (CA.) (p. 129).
G Type
When operating in shallow water, tilt
the outboard motor, using the tilt
lever, so the propeller and gear case
won’t hit the bottom.
To tilt the outboard motor, move the
tilt lever to the TILT position, then
raise the outboard motor to the
desired position by pulling on the
engine cover grip.
