Power tilt operation
Tilting is normally used for raising the drive unit to obtain clear-
ance when beaching, launching from a trailer, or mooring.
When tilting the drive unit, the boat should be at rest or at idle
speed only.
The trim/tilt switch controls the tilting feature of the drive unit.
When the trim/tilt switch is held in the “bow-up” position, the
drive unit tilts up until the switch is released or the drive unit
reaches the maximum tilt position. The trim/tilt gauge will indi-
cate the “tilt” position whenever the drive unit is in the tilt range.
CAUTION!
Never exceed 1000 RPM when operating the drive unit
in the tilted position, because it may damage the drive
system. Never run the engine when the drive unit is
tilted more then 30° or the drive will be damaged.
Never operate the drive unit out of water without a flushing kit
attached. The water pump may be damaged or engine may
overheat.
WARNING!
To avoid possible contact with the propeller, never
use the drive unit as a ladder or as a lift to board the
boat. Never board at the rear of the boat when the
engine is running, even if the engine is operating in
neutral. Personal injury could result from contact with
rotating engine parts and propeller.
Any malfunction of the trim/tilt system could result in a loss of
impact protection. Malfunction can also result in loss of reverse
thrust capability. If malfunction occurs, see your authorized
Volvo Penta dealer.
Power trim/tilt switch operation
Trimming and tilting the drive is done from a control switch
mounted on the remote control or by using the switches on the
dash. When using the dash mounted switches, the bottom but-
ton lowers the bow and the top button raises the bow. The
switch on the remote control lever raises and lowers the drive
when its upper or lower segment is pressed.
NOTE! Allow the trim/tilt switch to return to its cen-
ter position when the drive unit reaches the
maximum raised or lowered position. This will
prevent your trim/tilt motor from overheating.
The trim/tilt motor is protected from overheating by an internal
thermal overload switch. If the electric motor stops while tilting,
release the switch and allow the overload switch to cool and
automatically reset itself. When the overload switch has reset,
tilting may be resumed. Make sure the drive unit is not being
restrained, causing the motor to overheat. If the electric motor
still does not operate, check the in-line 5-amp fuse in the re-
mote control handle, the 10-amp fuse located on the trim/tilt
pump, or the 50-amp circuit breaker on the engine.
