CONTROLS AND FEATURES

Manual Relief Valve

The outboard motor can be tilted 

manually after opening the manual 

relief valve. This allows the outboard 

motor to be tilted up or down when 

no battery is connected.

Check that nobody is under the 

outboard motor before opening the 

manual relief valve. If the manual 

relief valve is loosened (turned 

counterclockwise) when the outboard 

motor is tilted up, the outboard motor 

will suddenly tilt down.

TRL (Trolling) Control Switch 

(optional equipment)

Tiller handle type

Remote Control Box 

(Side-mount control type)

Trolling Control Switch Panel

The Trolling Control Switch is a 

rocker switch with UP and DN 

(down) positions to adjust the trolling 

speed up or down in 50 RPM 

increments within the range of 750 to 

1,000 RPM.

If you press and hold the TRL control 

switch while cruising with the throttle 

closed, the mode changes to trolling 

mode (p. 68).
