MOORING
The motor should be tilted up out of the water
when you moor the boat in shallow water or if
the motor will not be used for some time, to pro-
tect it from damage by underwater obstacles at
low tide or corrosion from salt water.
Refer to the TILT UP LOCK ARM section for
details on how to tilt up the motor.
OPERATION IN SHALLOW WATER
When operating your outboard motor in shallow
water, use the shallow water position to tilt the
motor slightly from the normal trim angle. When
using the shallow water position, however, you
should only operate the motor at slow speeds.
After returning to deep water, be sure to release
the shallow water position.
To tilt the motor slightly, set the tilt up lock arm
as outlined in the TILT UP LOCK ARM section.
WARNING
If you leave the motor tilted up for a long
period of time with the fuel line con-
nected, fuel can leak out.
Disconnect the fuel line whenever you
leave the motor tilted up for a long period
of time.
NOTICE
Improperly securing your boat may cause
damage to your boat or motor, or other
property damage.
Do not allow your motor to rub against
quay walls, piers or other boats when the
boat is tied up.
