TILT-LOCK MECHANISM
(for hydro-tilt model)

reverse thrust from the propeller lifting
the outboard motor when reversing. To
lock it, set the tilt-lock lever in the Lock
position. To release it, place the tilt-lock
lever in the Tilt position.

NOTE:
The tilt-lock mechanism on the hydro-tilt
model can be used to keep the outboard
motor at a slightly tilted angle for shallow
water cruising. Refer to CRUISING IN
