TRANSPORTING
61
Shift the outboard to the forward gear. This prevents the propeller
from spinning freely.
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: The tilt lock and shallow water drive feature (tiller
handle models) on the outboard are not intended to support the
outboard in the tilted position when trailering.
Mooring with the Engine Tilted Up
When the engine has been stopped and it will not be used for a
long time, or when mooring in shallow water, tilt the engine up to
prevent damage to the propeller and gearcase.
