OPERATION IN SHALLOW WATER
When operating your boat in shallow water, it may be necessary to tilt the motor higher than the normal trim angle. When you tilt the motor beyond the normal trim angle, however, you should only operate the boat at slow speeds. After returning to deep water, be sure to lower the motor to the normal trim angle.
To tilt the motor higher than the normal trim angle, use the Power Trim and Tilt switch.
When the motor is beyond the maximum trim position, the swivel bracket will not have side support from the clamp bracket and the tilt system will be unable to cushion the engine if the lower unit strikes an obstruction. This could lead to occupant injury. In addition, beyond the maximum trim position, the water intake holes may be above the water line, which can result in severe engine damage from overheating. Do not operate the engine above 1500 r/min or operate the boat in a planning attitude with the engine beyond the maximum trim position.
If the motor hits bottom, serious damage can occur.
Do not allow the motor to hit bottom. If the motor does strike bottom, inspect it immediately for damage.
OPERATING THE TROLL MODE (Optional Item)**
The display switches to the troll mode screen and “TROLL” is displayed on the screen.
The Engine Speed screen and All Items screen displayed in analog mode switches to digital
display.
Trolling speed can be controlled with the optional Troll Mode switch when the appropriate BCM is used.
Please contact your authorized Suzuki Marine Dealer for more information.

The “Troll Mode System” is activated by pressing the troll mode switch, when the motor is running at in gear idle speed. By using this system, you can set and maintain a desired engine speed with the control switch in a range from in-gear idle speed (approx. 650 r/min) to 1200 r/min.
For the multiple engines:
In-gear idle speed of all engines is controlled at the same time.
How to use the Troll Mode
Setting the troll mode:
Shift into forward or reverse gear and make sure that the throttle is fully closed (in-gear
idle speed).Press the “UP” or “DN” position of the troll mode switch, until you hear one beep.
