Trailering Boat/Outboard
The boat should be trailered with the outboard tilted down in a
vertical operating position.
IMPORTANT: The tilt lock and shallow water drive feature (tiller
handle models) on the outboard are not intended to support the
outboard in the tilted position when trailering.
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.
Shift the outboard to forward gear. This prevents the propeller
from spinning freely.
Removing the Motor
1. Stop the engine.
2. Disconnect the fuel connector from the motor.
3. Remove the motor from the hull and completely drain the
water from the outboard.
