Operation

NOTE:
Depending on the type of boat, the outboard
motor trim angle may have little effect on the
trim of the boat when operating.
EMU27933
Tilting up and down
If the engine will be stopped for some time or
if the boat is moored in shallows, the outboard
motor should be tilted up to protect the propel-
ler and casing from damage by collision with
obstructions, and also to reduce salt corro-
sion.
WARNING
EWM00220
Be sure all people are clear of the out-
board motor when tilting up and down,
also be careful not to pinch any body parts
between the drive unit and engine bracket.
WARNING
EWM00250
Leaking fuel is a fire hazard. If there is a
fuel joint on the outboard motor, discon-
nect the fuel line or close the fuel cock if
the engine will be tilted for more than a few
minutes. Otherwise fuel may leak.
CAUTION:
