Procedure
Trailering Boat/Outboard
1. Trailer your boat with the outboard tilted down in a vertical operating position. WARNING: Do not rely on the power trim/tilt system or tilt support lever to maintain proper ground clearance for trailering. The outboard tilt support lever is not intended to support the outboard for trailering. 2. If additional ground clearance is required, tilt the outboard up using an accessory outboard support device. Consult your local dealer for recommendations. Additional clearance may be required for railroad crossings, driveways, and trailer bouncing. 3. Shift the outboard to forward gear to prevent the propeller from spinning freely.
