outboard slightly by pulling on the
engine cover grip, then pull the tilt
lever to release the outboard, and then
slowly lower the outboard motor.
MOORING, BEACHING,
LAUNCHING
Before tilting up, leave the outboard
motor in the running position for one
minute after stopping the engine to
drain the water from inside the
engine.
1. Move the shift lever to the N (neutral)
position and stop the engine.
2. Turn the fuel valve lever to the OFF
position (BF4A) or portable fuel tank
position (BF5D and BF6A) (p. 19).
3. When using the portable fuel tank
(BF5D and BF6A), disconnect the
fuel hose connectors from the
outboard motor and portable fuel
tank (p. 38), install fuel hose
connector cap and close the portable
fuel tank vent by turning the vent
knob clockwise all the way (p. 26).
4. Close the internal fuel tank vent by
turning the vent knob clockwise all
the way (p. 21).
To raise the outboard motor out of the
water while the boat is moored, or for
maximum clearance when beaching
or launching, tilt the outboard motor
to the 34° or 58° position.
Stop the engine before tilting the
outboard motor. The 34° or 58°
position is not an operating position.
