I'm embarrassed to ask this-lol

I just picked up a 15 hp ML merc with tiller shift, and have no owners manual.

For the life of me I can't figure out how to use the full tilt and shallow water tilt settings. I have to use my finger to trip the spring loaded thing in the motor mounts. and that won't do when I'm in the boat. everything is free, no corrosion ect, the motor only has around 50 hrs on it.

there must be a secret maneuver I'm missing, it confounds me. I've only had OMC small motors in the past.

Anyone have the magic sequence for raising and lowering the tilt??

thanks
 
try putting the motor in forward gear when you tilt and the shallw tilt thing wont engage. I think it is like this in case you hit something while driving the motor will not be locked allowing it to swing back.
