FINAL ADJUSTMENTS
Tilt Limit Switch Adjustment
Adjust the tilt limit switch on all new outboard
installations.
Check the clearance between outboard(s) and the
boat’s motor well and transom area. Tilt out-
board(s) to highest point of clearance and turn the
steering system lock to lock.
If the outboard contacts the boat's motor well
when fully tilted, adjust the tilt limit cam to reduce
full-tilt position.
IMPORTANT:
The tilt limit cam will not prevent
the outboard from overriding the adjustment if the
outboard is tilted manually.
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.
WARNING
If the outboard does not clear all boat parts
when tilted fully or turned side to side,
safety related parts could be damaged in
the course of such outboard movement.
Injuries could result from loss of boat con-
trol.

WARNING
Adjusting the tilt limit cam will NOT pre-
vent the outboard from tilting fully and
contacting the motor well if the gearcase
hits an object at high speed. Such contact
could damage the outboard and boat and
injure boat occupants.
