    Jerry,

    They called it a "tilting" stern drive because it could swing up if it hit an underwater obstruction. There is a latch on it that has a shearpin. The latch keeps it from kicking up when in reverse, but if you hit something going forward it will shear the pin. If you want to know more, e-mail me: gemmanuel@bellsouth.net

    Great being with you at Tomahawk!—-Love your motor!
