POWER TILT SWITCH
The power tilt adjusts the motor angle in
relation to the transom. The power tilt switch
is located on top of the steering bracket.
Pushing the switch UP trims the motor up,
then tilts the motor up. Pressing the switch
DN tilts the motor down and trims the
motor down. When the switch button is
released, the motor will stop in its current
position.
WARNING
Use the power tilt switch located on top
of the steering bracket only when the
boat is at a complete stop with the
engine off. Attempting to use the cowl-
ing-mounted power tilt switch while the
boat is moving could increase the risk of
falling overboard and could distract the
operator, increasing the risk of collision
with another boat or an obstacle.
NOTE:
Refer to the section Tilting Up/Down for
instructions on usage.
