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 tilt system or the 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.
