The engine can be started with the gearshift lever in the N (neutral) position only. The throttle grip can be turned to the FAST position only when the gearshift lever is in the F (forward) position. Use the throttle friction adjuster to help hold a constant throttle setting while cruising. Turn the adjuster clockwise to increase throttle grip friction for holding a constant speed. Turn the adjuster counterclockwise to decrease friction for easy grip rotation. OPERATIO N R Type (remote control) Side-Mount Type CONTROL LEVER NEUTRAL RELEASE LEVER To shift gears, move the control lever to select F (forward), N (neutral) and R (reverse) gears. The control lever cannot be moved from the N (neutral) position unless the neutral release lever is squeezed. Moving the control lever beyond the gear selection range increases engine speed. THROTTLE FRICTION ADJUSTER TO INCREASE FRICTION TO DECREASE FRICTION Adjust the throttle friction adjuster so the control lever will hold a constant throttle setting while cruising. OPERATION STEERING H Type (tiller handle) Steer by moving the tiller handle opposite the direction you want the boat to turn. LLOOCKK FFRREEEE STEERING FRICTION LEVER Use the steering friction lever to help hold a steady course while cruising. Move the lever to the LOCK direction to increase steering friction for holding a steady course and for trailering. Move the lever to the FREE direction to decrease friction for easy turning. R Type (remote control) Steer the boat in the same manner as an automobile. N CRUISING Engine Speed For best fuel economy, limit the throttle opening to 80%. Use the throttle friction control (p. 54 or p. 55 ) to help you hold a steady speed. For rough water conditions or large waves, slow down to prevent the propeller from rising out of the water. Transom Angle Install the outboard motor at the best transom angle for stable cruising and maximum power. Transom angle too large: Incorrect causes boat to ‘‘squat’’. Transom angle too small: Incorrect causes boat to ‘‘bow steer’’. It is necessary to adjust the transom angle of the outboard motor to compensate for changes in boat load, weight distribution, water conditions, or propeller selection. Under normal conditions, the boat will perform best when the antiventilation plate is level with the water. When cruising into a high wind, adjust the outboard motor down slightly to level the boat and improve stability. With a tail wind, adjust the outboard motor up slightly (p. 41 ). Excessive transom angle during operation can cause propeller ventilation, overheating, and water pump damage.

CORRECT GIVES MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE OPERATION SHALLOW WATER OPERATION Manual tilt Type When operating in shallow water, tilt the outboard motor, using the tilt lever, so the propeller and gear case won’t hit the bottom. 30° ENGINE COVER GRIP 45° To tilt the outboard motor, move the tilt lever to the TILT position, then raise the outboard motor to the 30° or 45° position by pulling on the engine cover grip. Do not use the tiller handle as a lever to raise the outboard motor. Applying excessive f orce to the tiller handle can damage it. While the outboard motor is tilted, proceed at a low speed, and do not operate the outboard motor in reverse. The outboard motor will rise suddenly if operated in reverse. Monitor water flow from the cooling system indicator (p. 31 ) to be sure the outboard motor is not tilted so high the water intake is out of the water. An excessive tilt angle during operation can cause propeller ventilation, overheating, and water pump damage. OPERATION ENGINE COVER GRIP TILT LEVER TILT RUUNN (LOCK) To return the outboard motor to the normal operating position, move the tilt lever to the RUN (LOCK) position, raise the outboard motor slightly to disengage the tilt mechanism, then slowly lower the outboard motor. TType When operating in shallow water, use the power tilt switch to tilt the outboard motor, so the propeller and gear case won’t hit the bottom. Proceed at low speed, and monitor water flow from the cooling system indicator (p. 31 ) to be sure the outboard motor is not tilted so high that the water intakes are out of the water. An excessive tilt angle during operation can cause propeller ventilation, overheating, and water pump damage. G Type When operating in shallow water, tilt the outboard motor, using the tilt lever, so the propeller and gear case won’t hit the bottom. OPERATION To tilt the outboard motor, move the tilt lever to the TILT position, then raise the outboard motor to the desired position by pulling on the engine cover grip. Do not use the tiller handle as a lever to raise the outboard motor. Applying excessive f orce to the tiller han...
