Power trim and tilt models

The outboard motor can be tilted up partially
to allow operation in shallow water.

NOTICE

ECM00260

Do not tilt the outboard motor up so that
the cooling water inlet on the lower unit is
above the surface of the water when set-
ting up for and cruising in shallow water.
Otherwise severe damage from overheat-

ing can result.

EMU32913

Procedure for power trim and tilt models

1.

Place the remote control lever / gear
shift lever in neutral.

2.

Slightly tilt the outboard motor up to the
desired position using the power trim
and tilt switch.

WARNING! Using the

power trim and tilt switch on the bot-
tom cowling while the boat is moving
or engine is on could increase the
risk of falling overboard and could
distract the operator, increasing the
risk of collision with another boat or
an obstacle.
