MANUAL GAS ASSISTED TILT SYSTEM – TILLER
HANDLE MODELS WITHOUT POWER TRIM
Consider the following lists carefully when adjusting the operating angle of your
outboard.
Adjusting the outboard close to the boat transom can:
1. Lower the bow.
2. Result in quicker planing off, especially with a heavy load or a stern heavy boat.
3. Generally improve the ride in choppy water.
4. Increase steering torque or pull to the right (with the normal right hand rotation
propeller).
5. In excess, lower the bow of some boats to a point at which they begin to plow
with their bow in the water while on plane. This can result in an unexpected turn
in either direction (called “bow steering” or “over-steering”) if any turn is
attempted, or if a significant wave is encountered.
Adjusting the outboard away from the boat transom can:
1. Lift the bow out of the water.
2. Generally increase top speed.
3. Increase clearance over submerged objects or a shallow bottom.
4. Increase steering torque or pull to the left at a normal installation height (with
the normal right hand rotation propeller).
5. In excess, cause boat “porpoising” (bouncing) or propeller ventilation.

Tilt Lock Lever
1 The tilt lock lever is used to engage the reverse lock mechanism and prevent
the outboard from lifting out of the water when operating in reverse gear due
to reverse propeller thrust. The tilt lock lever can be placed in two positions as
follows.
Release Position (a) – Placing the tilt lock lever up in the release position (a) will
allow you to tilt up the outboard.
Lock Position (b) – Place the tilt lock lever down in the lock position (a) whenever
your operating the outboard.
Note: With the tilt lock lever in the lock position, the outboard still will kick up if an
underwater obstruction is hit.

Tilting Outboard to Full Up Position
1 Stop the engine.
2 Push the tilt lock lever up to the release position (a).
3 Take hold of the top cowl grip and raise outboard to the full up position.
4 Push in the tilt support pin (c). Lower the outboard to rest on the tilt support pin.
Lowering Outboard Down To Run Position
5 Raise outboard slightly and pull out the tilt support pin (c). Lower the outboard.
6 Move the tilt lock lever down to the lock position (b).

Shallow Water Operation
The shallow water drive feature on the outboard allows you to position the
outboard at a higher tilt angle to prevent hitting bottom.
IMPORTANT: While in shallow water, operate the outboard at slow speed
and keep the cooling water intake submerged.
Engaging Shallow Water Drive
1 Reduce engine speed to idle.
2 Push the tilt lock lever up to the release position (a).
3 Rotate knob (c) to engage the shallow water drive bracket.
4 Take hold of the top cowl grip and raise outboard to enable the shallow water
drive bracket (d) to swing down.
5 Lower the outboard to rest on the shallow water drive bracket.
6 Move the tilt lock lever down to the lock position (b).
Releasing Outboard From Shallow Water Drive Position
7 Push the tilt lock lever up to the release position (a).
8 Raise outboard slightly and rotate knob (c) to disengage the shallow water
drive bracket (d). Lower the outboard down.
9 Move the tilt lock lever down to the lock position (b).
