Trailering Boat/Outboard
Trailer your boat with the outboard tilted down in a vertical operating position.
If additional ground clearance is required, the outboard should be tilted up using an accessory outboard support
device. Refer to your local dealer for recommendations. Additional clearance may be required for railroad
crossings, driveways and trailer bouncing.

IMPORTANT: Do not rely on the power trim/tilt system or tilt support lever to maintain proper ground clearance for
trailering. The outboard tilt support lever is not intended to support the outboard for trailering.
Shift the outboard to forward gear. This prevents the propeller from spinning freely.
