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 protect 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.

Do not allow your motor to rub against quay walls, piers or other boats when the boat is tied up.
