TILTING UP/DOWN

 

 

If the engine will be stopped for some

 

 

time, or if the boat is moored in shallows,

 

 

the engine should be tilted up to protect

 

 

the propeller and casing from damage by

 

 

collision with obstructions, and also to

000817

 

reduce salt corrosion.

Before tilting the motor, follow the proce-

 

 

dures under “STOPPING ENGINE”. Never

 

 

tilt the motor while the engine is running.

 

 

Severe damage from overheating can

 

 

result.

Be sure all people are clear of the out-

engine bracket.

Leaking fuel is a fire hazard. Disconnect the fuel line or close the fuel cock if the engine will be tilted for more than a few minutes. Otherwise, fuel may leak. (If the fuel connector is provided on the motor.)
