2.9 Stopping engine
NOTE:
Before stopping the engine, first let it cool off for a few minutes at idle or low speed.
Stopping the engine immediately after operating at high speed is not recommended.
PROCEDURE:
1. Push and hold the engine stop button until the engine comes to a complete stop.
NOTE:
If the outboard motor is equipped with an engine stop switch lanyard, the engine can also be stopped
by pulling the lanyard and removing the lock plate from the engine stop switch.
2. Tighten the air vent screw on the fuel tank cap and set the fuel cock lever or knob to the closed position.
2.10 Trimming outboard motor
There are 4 or 5 holes provided in the clamp bracket to adjust the outboard motor trim angle.
1. Stop the engine.
2. Remove the trim rod from the clamp bracket while slightly tilting the outboard motor up.
3. Reposition the rod in the desired hole. Make test runs with the trim set to different angles to find the
position that works best for your boat and operating conditions.
