Tilting Up and Down
If the engine will be stopped for some time or if the boat is moored in shallows, the outboard
motor should be tilted up to protect the propeller and casing from damaged by collision with
obstructions, and also to reduce corrosion.
WARNING:
Be sure all people are clear of the outboard motor when tilting up and down, also be
careful not to pinch any body parts between the drive unit and engine bracket.
Remove the Power Cable if the outboard motor will be tilted for more than a few minutes.
Otherwise, an unsafe condition my exist.
NOTE:
Do not tilt up the engine by pushing the tiller handle because this could break the handle.
The outboard motor cannot be tilted when in reverse or when the outboard motor is turn
180
o
(facing the rear).
