11 Anti-grounding Mode
When the boat runs in shallow water or in complicated underwater conditions, it may
meet grounding dangers. Setting the outboard to anti-grounding mode will protect
the outboard motor from damage if the outboard hits submerged reefs or rocks. In
anti-grounding mode, the underwater part of the outboard is flexible in tilting direction
and the motor will automatically tilt up if it hits something underwater.
Never turn the throttle backward when the outboard is in anti-grounding mode.
To set the outboard in anti-grounding mode:
Step1:
Pull the beaching pin to the limit and hold, then pull the trim release lever to
the upmost position.
