9 Anti-grounding Mode
When the boat runs in shallow water or in complicated underwater conditions, it may
meet grounding dangers. Setting the outboard to anti-grounding mode will protect
the outboard motor from damage if the outboard hits submerged reefs or rocks. In
anti-grounding mode, the underwater part of the outboard is flexible in tilting direction
and the motor will automatically tilt up if it hits something underwater.
Never turn the throttle backward when the outboard is in anti-grounding mode.
To set the outboard in anti-grounding mode:
Step1: Pull the beaching pin to the limit and hold, then pull the trim release lever to
the upmost position.

To inactivate the anti-grounding mode
Pull the beaching pin again and make the trim release lever return to horizontal posi-
tion, the anti-grounding protection will be disabled and the outboard will work in nor-
mal state.
Never pull the trim release lever when the propeller is rotating.
Never activate the anti-grounding mode when the propeller is rotating.
Only use the anti-grounding mode in necessary conditions, such as in shallow
water, near the shore or unknown underwater conditions.
