Outboard Hydraulic Tilt/Trim Shock Absorption System and Safety
What can happen?
Without shock protection, a blow like this could cause serious damage to the outboard and injury to boat
occupants from the outboard or its parts entering the boat. Transom could break away and outboard may
be lost overboard.
How can possible conditions be minimized?
What is most important?
•
Shock absorption system must always be ready to absorb
some blows to the lower parts of the outboard.
•
Outboard must not trim in too far suddenly.
Boat may
SINK
.
At high speeds, sudden trimming
in too far may dive boat under
water or spin it around.
•
Read
,
understand
, and
follow
manufacturer’s
instructions.
•
Follow warnings marked “
”
closely.
•
Test your work whenever
possible.
•
If oil leaks are seen in service
areas, determine source.
Keep reservoir filled.
•
If outboard is hydraulic tilt/
trim model, always return rod
to hole position determined
by boat operator and make
sure angle adjusting rod
retain is in locked position.
Make sure manual
release valve is
closed tight. Torque
to 45 to 55 in. lbs.
(5.1 to 6.2 N·m).
If left open, outboard
