(commercially available)

Lif ting the outboard motor by the
engine cover, or using the
installed outboard motor as a
handle or lever to move the boat,
can damage the outboard motor.

If there is insufficient road clearance
in the normal running position, then
tilt the outboard motor and use a
motor support bar, or remove the
outboard motor from the boat. Refer
to the manufacturer’s instructions for
using a motor support bar.

When trailering a boat with the
outboard motor attached, leave the
engine in the normal running position,
if possible, and tighten the steering
friction bolt securely (p.

).

Remove the outboard motor from the
boat and secure the outboard motor
in either the vertical or horizontal
position shown on p.

.

To carry, hold the outboard motor by
the carrying handle, or hold by the
carrying handle and the lug beneath
the engine cover lock latch, as shown.
