CONTROLS AND FEATURES
Tilt Lever
The tilt lever enables the outboard
motor to be tilted for beaching,
launching, or mooring.
Tilt the outboard motor by holding
the carrying handles, as shown. The
spring-loaded tilt lever will
automatically move into position and
hold the outboard motor when it
reaches approximately 75°.
To return the outboard motor to the
normal running position, hold the
outboard motor and pull the tilt lever,
then slowly lower the outboard
motor.
Steering Friction Bolt
The steering friction bolt adjusts
steering resistance.
Less friction allows the outboard
motor to turn more easily. More
friction helps to hold a steady course
while cruising or to prevent the
outboard motor from swinging while
trailering the boat.
