See full version: Should outboard engine tilt up when hitting a sandbar
Unless the sand is packed hard like concrete, the prop is just going to cut into it and the engine will not kick up. The engine will slow down and may even stall from the load, but it won't kick up no matter what type latch or tilt you have. here
Re: should outboard engine tilt up when hitting a sandbar? [links]
If it has trim and tilt, no. If it does not, then yes, unless it's latched down. Do you, or was it .
(It is a 2007 Suzuki 115HP outboard engine)
Can't vouch for that particular Suzuki, but tilt and trim equipped outboards have internal valves and springs that allow "kick up" if the gearcase is hit hard enough. [links]
