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, pull the motor
slightly toward you, pull up on the tilt up lock
arm 1 and slowly let the motor down.
 WARNING
When the shallow water position is used,
the tilt lock will not work. As a result,
forces such as from propeller thrust dur-
ing operation in "REVERSE" gear, rapid
deceleration, and striking an underwater
object can cause the motor to lift out of
the water, resulting in personal injury.
When using the shallow water position,
proceed with caution and only at very low
speeds.
