OPERATION IN SHALLOW WATER
When operating your boat in shallow water, it
may be necessary to tilt the motor higher than
the normal trim angle. When you tilt the motor
beyond the normal trim angle, however, you
should only operate the boat at slow speeds.
After returning to deep water, be sure to lower
the motor to the normal trim angle.
To tilt the motor higher than the normal trim
angle, use the Power Trim and Tilt switch.
NOTICE
Improperly securing your boat may cause
damage to your boat or motor, or other prop-
erty damage.
Do not allow your motor to rub against quay
walls, piers or other boats when the boat is
tied up.

WARNING
When the motor is beyond the maximum trim
position, the swivel bracket will not have side
support from the clamp bracket and the tilt
system will be unable to cushion the engine if
the lower unit strikes an obstruction. This
could lead to occupant injury. In addition,
beyond the maximum trim position, the water
intake holes may be above the water line,
which can result in severe engine damage
from overheating.
Do not operate the engine above 1500 r/min
or operate the boat in a planing attitude with
the engine beyond the maximum trim posi-
tion.
NOTICE
If the motor hits bottom, serious damage can
occur.
Do not allow the motor to hit bottom. If the
motor does strike bottom, inspect it immedi-
ately for damage.
