The adjustment of the tilt‑in stop pins will set the vertical operating angle of your outboard. Proper adjustment allows the boat to
run stable, achieve optimum performance, and minimize steering effort.
a - Tilt‑in stop pins
NOTE: Refer to the following when adjusting the operating angle of your outboard.
The tilt‑in stop pins should be adjusted so the outboard is positioned to run perpendicular to the water when the boat is running
at full speed. This allows the boat to be driven parallel to the water.
Arrange passengers and load in the boat so the weight is distributed evenly.
a - Too much angle (stern down ‑ bow up)
b - Not enough angle (stern up ‑ bow down)
c - Angle adjusted properly (bow slightly up)
