Trailering Boat/Outboard
Trailer your boat with the outboard tilted down in a vertical operating position.
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 forward gear. This prevents the propeller from spinning freely.
Transporting Portable Fuel Tanks
WARNING
Avoid serious injury or death from a gasoline fire or explosion. Follow portable fuel tank transporting instructions.
Transport the fuel tank in a well ventilated area away from open flame or sparks.
MANUAL VENTING TYPE FUEL TANK
1. Close fuel tank air vent when transporting tank. This will prevent escape of fuel or vapors from tank.
AUTO-VENTING TYPE FUEL TANK
1. Disconnect the remote fuel line from tank. This will close the air vent and prevent escape of fuel or vapors
from tank.
