NOTICE
Operating the engine with the outboard in the tilt range can damage the
engine or the transom. If operating the engine in the tilt range, such as in
shallow water, do not exceed 2000 RPM.
1. Reduce the engine speed below 2000 RPM.
2. Tilt the outboard up. Make sure all the cooling water intake holes stay
submerged at all times.
3. Operate the engine at slow speed only.
The outboard will remain at the selected tilt position, however, the engine RPM
will be limited.
Propeller Steering Torque—Trim Tab Adjustment
Propeller steering torque may cause your boat to pull in one direction. Steering
torque normally occurs at or above planing speeds. Higher speed causes
higher steering torque loads. The trim tab can compensate for normal steering
torque in many cases and can be adjusted within limits to reduce any unequal
steering effort.

NOTE: Trim tab adjustment will have little effect reducing steering torque if the
outboard is installed with the antiventilation plate approximately 50 mm (2 in.)
or more above the boat bottom.
TRIM TAB ADJUSTMENT
Operate your boat at normal cruising speed and trim position. Turn the boat left
and right and note the direction the boat turns more easily.
If adjustment is necessary, loosen the trim tab fastener and make small
adjustments at a time. If the boat turns more easily to the left, move the trailing
edge of the trim tab to the left. If the boat turns more easily to the right, move
the trailing edge of the trim tab to the right. Tighten the fastener and test.
