Transom Angle Adjusting Rod
Tilt Lever (LH type)
The transom angle adjusting rod
limits the tilt angle of the outboard
motor when fully lowered.
Proper adjustment prevents the
outboard motor from being trimmed
too low (p.
There are five transom angle
adjustment positions. Four are
controlled by the adjusting rod and
the fifth is controlled by the stern
bracket. In order to use the fifth
position, remove the adjusting rod
and store it in the storage location,
then lower the motor down to the
stern bracket stop position.
Moving the tilt lever to the FREE
(TILT) position allows the motor to
be tilted and moving the tilt lever to
the LOCK (RUN) position locks the
motor in the desired position. Use the
tilt lever to temporarily tilt the motor
when the boat is operating in shallow
water, or mooring in shallow water.
The tilt lever must be in the LOCK
(RUN) position before operating the
motor or the motor could tilt up when
operating in reverse.
