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

reduce salt corrosion.

8Before tilting the motor, follow the pro-

 

 

cedures under “STOPPING ENGINE”.

 

 

Never tilt the motor while the engine is

 

 

running. Severe damage from over-

 

 

heating can result.

 

 

8Do not tilt up the engine by pushing

 

 

the steering handle as this could break

 

 

the handle.

Be sure all people are clear of the out-

 

 

board motor when adjusting the tilt

 

 

angle, also be careful not to pinch any

 

 

body parts between the drive unit and

 

 

engine bracket.

Leaking fuel is a fire hazard. Disconnect

 

 

the fuel line if the engine will be tilted for

 

 

more than a few minutes. Otherwise, fuel

 

 

may leak. (If the fuel connector is provid-

 

 

ed on the motor.)
