Pull the tilt support lever toward you to
support the engine.
WARNING
EWM00260
After tilting the outboard motor, be sure
to support it with the tilt support knob or
tilt support lever. Otherwise the outboard
motor could fall back down suddenly if oil
in the power trim and tilt unit loses pres-
sure.
CAUTION:
ECM01640
Do not use the tilt support lever or knob
when trailering the boat. The outboard
motor could shake loose from the tilt sup-
port and fall. If the motor cannot be trail-
ered in the normal running position, use
an additional support device to secure it
in the tilt position. For more detailed in-
formation, see page 58.

Models equipped with trim rods: Once
the outboard motor is supported with the
tilt support lever, press the power trim
and tilt switch “
” (down) to retract the
trim rods.
CAUTION:

Be sure to retract the trim rods complete-
ly during mooring. This protects the rods
from marine growth and corrosion which
could damage the power trim and tilt
mechanism.
