The outboard motor can be tilted up partially to allow operation in shallow water.
WARNING:
The tilt lock mechanism does not work while the shallow water cruising system is being used.
Run the boat at the lowest possible speed to avoid the outboard motor being lifted out of the

Return the outboard motor to its normal position as soon as the boat is back in deeper water.
