Mercury 80 User Manual

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.
