2. Lay the outboard down on its back side so the tiller handle is facing up as
shown. Place a protective pad under the outboard.
3. Close the fuel tank vent.
Trailering the Boat
IMPORTANT: The tilt lock mechanism is not intended to support the outboard
in the tilted up position when trailering. Use of the tilt lock mechanism could
allow the outboard to bounce and drop down causing damage to the outboard.
The boat should be trailered with the outboard tilted down (normal operating
position). If trailering with the engine fully down is not possible (the gearcase
skeg is too close to the road in a vertical position), tilt the motor securely using
a device (like a transom saver bar) in the tilted up position.
If additional ground clearance is required, remove the outboard from the boat
and store securely. Additional clearance may be needed for railroad crossings,
driveways, and trailer bouncing.
Set the gear shift into forward (F) gear. This prevents the propeller from
spinning freely.
