Most outboard models are equipped with power tilt and trim mechanisms. The purpose of
power tilt is to raise the engine for launching, loading or trailering. Power trim may be used to
adjust the boat’s planing performance and running attitude. See power trim, page 52 and 72, in
Sportfish, Cruisers, Yachts Owner’s Manual .

Information concerning the outboard engine(s) is located in the Operation and Maintenance
Manuals supplied by the engine manufacturer. Details on engine functions such as the lubrica-
tion system, cooling system and alarm/monitoring system are outlined in these manuals. Your
familiarization with this engine reference material will result in the proper usage and service
that is essential for safe and enduring engine performance. These manuals are included with
the Owner’s Packet.

ARRANTY
A warranty registration card is included with all engine manuals, and should be completed and
returned to the engine manufacturer as soon as possible.
N O T I C E
Most drive units are equipped with an adjustable rudder trim tab. This trim tab should
be adjusted to balance the steering at the speed which you travel most frequently. Varia-
tions in speed, boat load, or changes in the drive unit trim will cause the steering to pull
in one direction. If the boat pulls to the left, adjust the trim tab to the left and vice-versa.
D A N G E R
Do not inhale exhaust fumes! Exhaust contains carbon
monoxide, a gas that is dangerous and potentially lethal.
W A R N I N G
Do not attempt to service any engine or drive component without
being totally familiar with the safe and proper service procedures.
Certain moving parts are exposed and can be dangerous.
C A U T I O N
Do not paint the outboard motor with anti-fouling paint designed for
boat hulls. Many of these paints can cause severe damage to the engines.
