TILTING OUTBOARD TO FULL UP POSITION
1 Stop the engine. Shift the outboard to neutral or forward gear position. Take
hold of the top cowl grip and raise outboard to full tilt up position (a).
2 Pull out on knob and move the tilt lock to the LOCK position. In the locked
position, the outboard cannot be lowered down.
3 If the outboard is used as an auxiliary engine, tilt the outboard out of the water
when you plan on using the main power source.
IMPORTANT: If the outboard is used as an auxiliary engine, it has to be
restrained from bouncing while operating the boat using the main power
source. Quicksilver or Mercury Precision Accessory tilt lock kit (830578A1)
is designed to help support the tilted outboard. BOUNCING CAN DAMAGE
THE OUTBOARD AND THE BOAT’S TRANSOM.
LOWERING OUTBOARD DOWN TO RUN POSITION
4 Move the tilt lock down to the unlocked position.
5 Raise outboard to tilt release position (b) and gently lower it.
