Well heck, I didn't know it did that!
There are a few settings on the lower part of the motor that I really have no idea what they do. What do I push / pull to make the thing tilt?
Catalina 22 won't turn at low speeds

Hi Ai
You admission of lack of knowledge qualifies you as a grotty yachty.
Well Done and welcome to the club.
Every time I come to SBO, I learn something so you are not alone.
I am guessing 10 - 15 HP (number 12 down from the top.) these engines share a lot of similarities even if the capacity is not the same.
Download from here and go to page 30. there is a description of the tilt mechanism.

Thanks! I talked to their publication department but they wanted more than $100 for both the manual and the service manual.Hi Ai

The motor is a 9.9HP Bigfoot 4 stroke.
I believe the boat is a 1977 Catalina 22. People talk about hull numbers but I only found the serial number: 37-8
If you have either a Nissan, Mercury or Tohatsu, they all are built by Tohatsu and manuals are the same. As for Bigfoot, no such mfg. what does it say on the cowling? You should be able to access those manuals from the mfg website
As for the hull number the one stated is not it. Assuming the boat is state registered, look on the registration for it.

Sorry the motor is definitely a Mercury but Bigfoot is part of the model name.
See if this applies to your motor.

That is weird.
I hit the Adobe icon on the view column and and it downloaded, for free. Don't tell them that there might be a minor flaw in their business model
