Trailering Boat/Outboard
Trailer your boat with the outboard tilted down in a vertical
operating position. Shift the engine into reverse.
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 reverse gear. This prevents the propeller
from spinning freely.
Transporting Your Outboard When Removed From
Boat
IMPORTANT: Ensure the proper procedures are followed for
transportation and storage of the outboard to avoid the possibility
of oil leaks.
