SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The power trim/tilt hydraulic system is completely contained between the outboard's stern brackets. The system consists of:
- Electric motor
- Oil reservoir
- Pump manifold assembly
- Cylinder body assembly
Optimal boat and outboard performance can be achieved by adjusting (trimming) the angle of out board propeller thrust. The first 15° of outboard movement is considered trim range.
Outboard movement be yond the trim range is considered tilting. Tilting of the outboard may be desired for shallow water d rive and for traile ring/storage. The tilt cylinder moves the outboard through the tilt range.
IMPORTANT: When in tilt range , make sure water is available to gearcase water pickups.
Manual Adjustment
The outboard can be manually raised or lowered through its entire trim and tilt range by opening the manual release valve a minimum of three turn s. When this cycle is complete, the manual release valve must be closed and tightened to a torque of 45 to 55 in. lbs. (5 to 6 N•m) before normal operation can be resumed.

- Manual release valve, 40-60 HP
Trailering Bracket And Tilt Support
These outboards are equipped with combination tilt support/trailering brackets.
Tilt the outboard up fully, engage the bracket, then tilt the outboard down until the b racket is firmly in position.
