Carrying Outboard
The outboard has a carrying handle located in front.
Transporting Outboard When Removed From Boat
CAUTION
Transport and store the outboard only as shown. Otherwise, engine damage or property damage could result
from leaking oil.
1. With the outboard still in the water, close the fuel shut-off valve or disconnect the remote fuel line (if equipped)
and run engine until it stops. This will drain fuel from the carburetor. Remove outboard from the boat and hold
upright until all cooling water is drained out.
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 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 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.
