6. OPERATION

Shallow Water Operation

-[Excessive trim/tilt angle

during operation can cause the pro-

peller to raise out of the water and

cause propeller ventilation and

engine over-revving. Excessive

trim/tilt angle can also damage the

water pump and overheat the

engine.

When operating in shallow water, tilt

the motor up to prevent the propeller

and gear case from hitting the bottom

(refer to pages 55 and 58). With the

motor tilted up, operate the motor at

low speed.

Monitor the cooling system indicator

for water discharge. Be sure that the

motor is not tilted so high that the

water intakes are out of the water.

If an excessive amount of throttle is

used when operating in forward gear,

the motor will return to the transom

angle adjusting rod.

(Gas assisted tilt type).

If the motor trim angle is more than

20” and the control lever is moved

more than 40’ forward/rearward from

the N (neutral) position, the power

trim warning system will be activated

(refer to page 65).

(Power trim/tilt type).
