SHALLOW WATER POSITION
To set the motor in the shallow water position:
1. Shift into “NEUTRAL”.
2. Slowly tilt the motor up until you hear it make
a “click” sound.
3. Slowly lower the motor. It will stop in a posi-
tion that is slightly tilted up from the normal
trim angle.
NOTE:
There are two shallow water positions. Use
whichever one is appropriate, depending on the
depth of the water.
To lower the motor back down:
1. Pull the motor toward you to position
A
until
you hear it make a “click” sound.
2. Slowly let the motor down.
Shallow water position 2
Shallow water position 1
Normal position
WARNING
When the shallow water position is used, the
tilt lock will not work. As a result, forces such
as from propeller thrust during operation in
“REVERSE” gear, rapid deceleration, and
striking an underwater object can cause the
motor to lift out of the water, resulting in per-
sonal injury.
When using the shallow water position, pro-
ceed with caution and only at very low
speeds.
WARNING
If you do not take proper precautions when
shallow water position is used, fuel may leak
out from the built-in fuel tank.
• Do not fill the fuel tank above the upper
limit.
• When an engine stops, tighten the air vent
screw on the fuel filler cap of the built-in
fuel tank.
• Lower the motor back down to normal posi-
tion before opening the air vent screw on
the fuel filler cap of the built-in fuel tank.
