Shallow Water Operation<br />
-[Excessive trim/tilt angle<br />
during operation can cause the pro-<br />
peller to raise out of the water and<br />
cause propeller ventilation and<br />
engine over-revving. Excessive<br />
trim/tilt angle can also damage the<br />
water pump and overheat the<br />
engine.<br />
When operating in shallow water, tilt<br />
the motor up to prevent the propeller<br />
and gear case from hitting the bottom<br />
(refer to pages 55 and 58). With the<br />
motor tilted up, operate the motor at<br />
low speed.<br />
Monitor the cooling system indicator<br />
for water discharge. Be sure that the<br />
motor is not tilted so high that the<br />
water intakes are out of the water.<br />
If an excessive amount of throttle is<br />
used when operating in forward gear,<br />
the motor will return to the transom<br />
angle adjusting rod.<br />
(Gas assisted tilt type).<br />
If the motor trim angle is more than<br />
20” and the control lever is moved<br />
more than 40’ forward/rearward from<br />
the N (neutral) position, the power<br />
trim warning system will be activated<br />
(refer to page 65).<br />
(Power trim/tilt type).<br />
