we have a 2003 c250 and a tohatsu 8 hp outboard .if we goose the motor while in reverse the motor will swivel up and was wondering if others see that and how do you remedy this thank you
I'm surprised it doesn't engage a tilt-lock when you shift into reverse. Does the owner's manual say anything about that? Maybe something is stuck or missing...

I've had that exact problem with my 6hp Tohatsu SailPro. The fix was to ensure I thoroughly clean, lube, and exercise the stainless steel bracket that locks the motor down. I've added this little task to my annual Spring preparation.
