I've got a nice used '74 Merc 200 (20 HP) and the owners manual that I bought for it from Grubs claims that there's a shollow running position setting somewhere but the drawing in the manual isn't good and no, I don't see anything that'd allow for that anywhere.<br /> It tilts up in forward (only) and locks upward, prop out of water but nothing in between.<br /><br /> Was that an option for some of those? My local Merc dealer couldn't find anything either.<br /><br /> I figured out a way to do it using a peace of wood but that's hardly ideal.

If it has the shallow water drive it will have a lever on the tilt tube hsg marked troll that will drop a second stop assm down to rest on the tilt pin
