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.
