POWER TRIM/TILT SWITCH (LEFT) (RIGHT)
The power trim/tilt switch is located on the control lever. It is a rocker switch with UP and DN (down) positions for changing the angle of the outboard motor.
You can use the power trim/tilt switch anytime whether the boat is underway, stopped, or the ignition switch is in the OFF position. It is necessary for the ignition switch to be in the ON position for the trim meter to indicate the outboard motor angle. Trim the outboard motor to obtain the best performance and stability (p. 50).
Tilt the outboard motor for shallow water operation, beaching, launching, or mooring.
For dual mount outboard motors, tilt them up at the same time.
