ABSTRACT:
A tilt mechanism for an outboard motor includes a series of trim and shallow water operation positions which may be preset by the operator and from which the motor may be temporarily tilted up without engaging and being held in a higher tilt position. Correspondingly, elimination of the condition requiring or causing the temporary tilt-up allows direct return of the motor to the original trim position. Alternately, a manually operable trim ratchet assembly allows the operator to temporarily tilt the engine to and have it held at a higher trim position if desired. Disengagement of the trim ratchet assembly also allows direct return of the motor to the original trim position.
