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.
