Adjustments

Place the outboard in normal operating position.
Rotate the LOWER adjustment tab UP to reduce
the maximum tilt. Rotate the UPPER adjustment
tab DOWN to increase the maximum tilt position.
Check the adjustment by tilting the outboard fully.
Repeat this procedure until the tilt limit switch
stops the outboard's upward travel before it con-
tacts the motor well.
To prevent damage to equipment, provide addi-
tional motor well clearance when needed. Con-
sider either changing the outboard mounting
position or modifying the boat if the possibility for
interference and damage exists.
Trim Sending Unit Adjustment
(2-Cylinder Models)
The sending unit eccentric cam must be adjusted
so that the gauge needle is aligned with the lowest
gauge mark with the outboard trimmed all the way
DOWN.
Check if the gauge needle is above or below the
lowest gauge mark. Tilt engine UP and engage
trailering lock.
When the outboard is trimmed all the way DOWN,
the sending unit lever touches the eccentric cam
just forward of the top of the cam at the contact
point.
Loosen cam screw and rotate eccentric cam to
adjust full down gauge position:
•
If the needle was above the lowest mark, move
the thick part of the cam TOWARD the contact
point. Tighten the screw, and recheck the gauge
reading.
•
If the needle was below the lowest mark, move
the thick part of the cam AWAY from the contact
