    How to launch/tilt 20HP mercury??

    14' Aluminum w/20HP Merc. First small, non hydraulic tilt for me. So you get to the lake, take of the motor saver, let motor down to lock pin. How do you tilt and hold motor while backing in and how do you place it in run position when I'm in boat? I'm going to feel dumb, but educated, when I hear the answers. Thank you.

    I need it spelled out better. I am not savvy on it. Shift into forward, then hold motor up with tilt lock lever. Will this lever hold motor up high for launch? Then how to put motor back down? Shift back to neutral, let it down and start motor? So the shift lever operates the lock hooks? WOW!
