Make a test run in the boat to determine if the
trim angle needs to be adjusted.
To adjust the trim angle:
1. Hold the motor in the fully tilted up position.
(Refer to the TILT UP LOCK ARM section.)
2. Reposition the tilt pin A in the desired holes.
3. Lower the motor back down.
To lower the bow, move the pin towards the
boat. To raise the bow, move the pin away from
the boat.
WARNING
Trim angle greatly affects steering stability. If
the trim angle is too small, the boat may
“plow” or “bow steer”. If the trim angle is too
large, the boat may “chine walk” from side to
side or “porpoise” up and down. These condi-
tions, which result in loss of steering control,
can cause occupants to be thrown overboard.
Always maintain proper trim angle based on
the combination of your boat, engine, and pro-
peller, as well as operating conditions.
WARNING
If you operate the motor with the tilt pin
removed, you may not be able to control steer-
ing as expected.
Do not operate the motor with the tilt pin
removed.
STEERING TENSION ADJUSTMENT
The steering on your outboard motor should be
smooth and not tight. Adjust the steering ten-
sion so that there is only a slight resistance to
steering movement.
To increase the steering tension, turn the steer-
ing tension adjuster A clockwise. To decrease
the steering tension, turn the steering tension
adjuster counterclockwise.
THROTTLE TENSION ADJUSTMENT
The tension of the throttle control grip can be
adjusted according to your preference. To
increase the tension, turn the throttle tension
adjuster A clockwise. To decrease the tension,
turn the adjuster counterclockwise.
