TILT LIMITER CAM
If the outboard motor contacts the motor well of
the boat while tilting, adjust the tilt limiter cam to
limit maximum tilt position.
1. Place the motor in the normal running posi-
tion.
2. Rotate the tilt limiter cam:
To reduce the amount of tilt, move the tab A
of cam upward.
To increase the amount of tilt, move the tab
A of cam downward.
3. To check your adjustment, tilt the motor fully
up to check for motor contact.
Adjust further if necessary.
Return the motor to the normal running posi-
tion for each adjustment, and repeat your
check after each adjustment.
WARNING
Adjusting the tilt limiter cam will not pre-
vent the outboard motor from tilting fully
up and contacting the motor well if the
motor’s lower unit hits an object at high
speed. Such tilting could damage your
motor and boat and injure boat occu-
pants.
Keep all occupants away from the motor
when operating at high speed.
MANUAL TILTING
If you are unable to tilt the motor using the
“Power Trim and Tilt” because of an electrical
problem or some other problem, you can move
the motor manually. To tilt the motor up or
down, turn the manual release screw A two
turns counterclockwise, move the motor to the
desired position, then retighten the release
screw.
CAUTION
The motor is very heavy. When you tilt it
manually, you could injure your back or
slip and fall causing injury.
When you tilt the motor manually, ensure
that your grip and footing are secure and
that you are able to support the weight of
the engine.
