MOORING

The motor should be tilted up out of the water
when you moor the boat in shallow water or if
the motor will not be used for some time, to pro-
tect it from damage by underwater obstacles at
low tide or corrosion from salt water.
Refer to the TILT LEVER section for details on
how to tilt up the motor.
NOTICE
Improperly securing your boat may cause
damage to your boat or motor, or other
property damage.
Do not allow your motor to rub against
quay walls, piers or other boats when the
boat is tied up.
