TRAILERING BOAT/OUTBOARD – REMOTE CONTROL
MODELS WITHOUT POWER TRIM
Trailer your boat with the outboard tilted down (vertical operating position).
If additional ground clearance is required, the outboard should be tilted up using
the shallow water drive/trailering bracket (c). Additional clearance may be required
for railroad crossings, driveways, and trailer bouncing.
To Engage Bracket For Trailering
1 Set the tilt lock lever up to the release position (a).
2 Tilt up the outboard and engage the swallow water drive/trailering bracket (c).
3 Lower the outboard onto the bracket.
4 Push the tilt lock lever down to the lock position (b). This will lock the outboard
down against the bracket.
IMPORTANT: The tilt lock lever should be used to lock the outboard down
when trailering. This will prevent the outboard from bouncing and causing
possible damage to the outboard.
Shift the outboard to forward gear. This prevents the propeller from spinning freely.

TRANSPORTING PORTABLE FUEL TANKS
Manual venting Type Fuel Tank
1 Close fuel tank air vent when transporting tank. This will prevent escape of fuel
or vapors from tank.
Auto-venting Type Fuel Tank
2 Disconnect the remote fuel line from tank. This will close the air vent and
prevent escape of fuel or vapors from tank.
3 Install tether cap (a) over the fuel line connector stem (b). This will protect the
connector stem from being accidently pushed-in, thus, allowing fuel or vapor
to escape.
WARNING
Avoid serious injury or death from a gasoline fire or explosion. Follow
portable fuel tank transporting instructions. Transport the fuel tank in a
well ventilated area away from open flame or sparks.

GASOLINE RECOMMENDATIONS
United States and Canada
Use a major brand of automotive unleaded gasoline with a minimum posted octane
rating of 87. Mid-grade automotive gasolines that contain fuel injector cleaner are
preferred for added internal engine cleanliness. Leaded gasoline is not
recommended.
International
Use a major brand of automotive unleaded gasoline with a minimum posted octane
rating of 90RON. Automotive gasolines that contain fuel injector cleaner are
preferred for added internal engine cleanliness. Leaded gasoline is acceptable in
areas where unleaded gasoline is not available.
Alcohol in Gasoline
We do not recommend the use of gasoline which contains alcohol because of the
possible adverse effect the alcohol may have on the fuel system. In general, if only
gasoline containing alcohol is available, it must not contain more than 10% ethanol
or 5% methanol, and the addition of a Water Separating Fuel Filter is
recommended.
If gasoline containing alcohol is used or if you suspect the presence of alcohol in
your gasoline, increase your inspection of the fuel system, visually checking for
fuel leaks or abnormalities.
Gasoline containing alcohol may cause the following problems to your outboard
and fuel system:
• Corrosion of metal parts.
• Deterioration of elastomers and plastic parts.
• Wear and damage of internal engine parts.
• Starting and operating difficulties.
• Vapor lock or fuel starvation.
Some of these adverse effects are due to the tendency of gasoline containing
alcohol to absorb moisture from the air, resulting in a phase of water and alcohol
which separates from the gasoline in the fuel tank.
The adverse effects of alcohol are more severe with methanol and are worse with
increasing content of alcohol.

FILLING FUEL TANK
WARNING
Avoid serious injury or death from a gasoline fire or explosion. Always
stop the engine and DO NOT smoke or allow open flames or sparks in the
area while filling fuel tanks.
Fill fuel tanks outdoors away from heat, sparks, and open flames.
Remove portable fuel tanks from boat to refill them.
Always stop engine before refilling tanks.
Do not completely fill the fuel tanks. Leave approximately 10% of the tank volume
unfilled. Fuel will expand in volume as its temperature rises and can leak under
pressure if the tank is completely filled.
Portable Fuel Tank Placement in the Boat
Place the fuel tank in the boat so that the tank vent will stay higher than the fuel
level in the tank under normal boat operating conditions.
