MANUAL TILTING
If the outboard cannot be tilted using the power trim/tilt switch,

counterclockwise. This allows manual tilting of the outboard. Tilt
the outboard to the desired position and tighten the manual tilt
release valve.
SHALLOW WATER OPERATION
When operating your boat in shallow water, you can tilt the
outboard beyond the maximum trim range to prevent hitting
bottom.
1. Reduce engine speed below 2000 RPM.
2. Tilt outboard up. Make sure all the water intake holes stay
submerged at all times.
