REMOTE CONTROL MODEL
If it is necessary to remove the outboard motor from your boat, we recommend that you ask your authorized Suzuki Marine Dealer to do the work for you.
MOTOR TRANSPORTING
When transporting the motor, place the motor either vertically or horizontally.
Vertical transport:
Attach the clamp bracket to a stand by securing the two clamp screws and two transom bolts
Horizontal transport:
Raise the tiller handle (if equipped) and rest the motor on a case protector with the port side downwards as shown.
Do not let the lower unit of the outboard sit higher than the power head during transporting or storing, or water may trickle into the power head, causing damage to the engine.
TRAILERING
When trailering your boat with the motor attached, keep the motor in the normal operating position unless there is not enough ground clearance. If you need more ground clearance, trailer the motor in a tilted position using a transom saver bar or similar device to support the weight of the motor.
When trailering the boat and the motor, do not use the tilt up lock knob to hold the motor in the fully tilted position. Towing motion or poor road surfaces may cause unexpected tilt lock release, resulting in damage to the motor and the tilt lock mechanism.
