90-13645--2 495 6B-5 POWER TRIM
Before the boat is trailered, the operator should check
for clearance between the outboard skeg and pave-
ment to prevent damage to skeg from striking pave-
ment.
If the outboard must be tilted for clearance between
skeg and pavement, a device such as a “Transom
Saver” should be installed to prevent stress to boat
transom from outboard weight while the boat/out-
board are being trailered.
Tilting Outboard Manually
WARNING
Before opening the manual release valve knob,
insure all persons are clear of outboard as
outboard will drop to full “Down” when valve is
opened.
The outboard can be raised or lowered manually by
opening the manual release valve 3 to 4 turns coun-
terclockwise. Close manual release valve to hold out-
board at the desired tilt position.

Trim “In” Angle Adjustment
WARNING
Boat operation with outboard trimmed to the full
“In” trim angle [not using the trim angle
adjustment bolt (a)] at planing speed may result in
undesirable and/or unsafe steering conditions. A
water test for handling/steering conditions is
required after any trim angle adjustments.
IMPORTANT: Some boat/motor combinations not
using the trim angle adjustment pin (a) and
trimmed to the full “In” trim angle position may
not exhibit any undesirable and/or unsafe handl-
ing and/or steering characteristics at planing
speed. If so, not using the trim angle adjustment
bolt (a) may be advantageous to acceleration and
planing. A water test is required to determine if
these characteristics apply to a particular boat/
motor combination.
