POWER TRIM AND TILT (CONTINUED)
Tilting Operation
To tilt outboard, shut off the engine and press the trim/tilt switch or auxiliary tilt
switch to the up position. The outboard will tilt up until the switch is released or it
reaches its maximum tilt position.
1 Engage the tilt support lever (a), by rotating knob (b) to bring the support lever
upward.
2 Lower outboard to rest on the tilt support lever.
3 Disengage the tilt support lever, by raising the outboard off the support lever
and rotating the lever down. Lower the outboard.
Manual Tilting
If the outboard cannot be tilted using the power trim/tilt switch, the outboard can
be manually tilted.
4 Turn out the manual tilt release valve 3 turns (counterclockwise). This allows
manual tilting of the outboard. Tilt the outboard to the desired position and
tighten the manual tilt release valve.
Note: The manual tilt release valve must be tightened before operating the
outboard to prevent the outboard from tilting up during reverse operation.

POWER TRIM AND TILT (CONTINUED)
Auxiliary Tilt Switch
1 This switch can be used to tilt the outboard up or down using the power trim
system.
Shallow Water Operation
When operating your boat in shallow water, you can tilt the outboard beyond the
maximum trim range to prevent hitting bottom.
1. Reduce engine speed below 2000 RPM.
2. Tilt outboard up. Make sure all the water intake holes stay submerged at all
times.
3. Operate the engine at slow speed only. If engine speed exceeds 2000 RPM,
the outboard will automatically return down to the maximum trim range.

MANUAL TILT SYSTEM
Models without power trim are equipped with a tilt assist system that allows the
operator to easily tilt and lock the outboard at any tilt position from full down to full
up.
This tilt system is designed to be adjusted when the outboard is idling in neutral
or with the engine turned off.
1 Before operating, the outboard must be locked in its tilt position by moving the
tilt lock lever (a) to the LOCK/RUN position.
WARNING
Before operating, the outboard must be locked in its tilt position by moving
the tilt lock lever to LOCK/RUN position. Failure to lock the outboard in its tilt
position could result in the outboard tilting up out of the water during decel-
eration or while operating in reverse, resulting in possible loss of boat con-
trol. Loss of boat control can result in serious injury, death, or boat damage.
Basic Tilting Operation
2 Move tilt lock lever (a) to the TILT position. Tilt outboard to desired position and
lock in place by moving the tilt lock lever back to the LOCK/RUN position.

MANUAL TILT SYSTEM
Shallow Water Operation
1 When operating your boat in shallow water, the outboard can be adjusted and
locked at a higher tilt angle. Operate your outboard at slow speed while tilted
up for shallow water operation. Keep the cooling water intake holes submerged
in the water and continue to check for water discharge from the water pump
indicator hole.
Tilting Outboard To Full Up Position
2 Stop the engine. Move the tilt lock lever to TILT position. Take hold of the top
cowl grip and raise outboard to full tilt up position. Lock the outboard in place
by moving the tilt lock lever to LOCK/RUN position.
3 Engage the tilt support lever (a), by rotating knob (b) to bring the support lever
upward.
4 Lower outboard to rest on the tilt support lever.
5 Disengage the tilt support lever by raising the outboard off the support lever
and rotating the lever down. Lower the outboard.
6 Move tilt lock lever to LOCK/RUN position.
