"to drain the fuel off.. the easiest way is to disconnect the fuel line and run it till the engine stops, you may want to spray some fogging oil in the spark plug hole when done, give a couple pulls, spray a little more, then put the plug back in.

If thats the deluxe model (you dont tell us the model number!) with reverse gear the tilt lock release is the flat topped knob on the front of the transom mount bracket. Only turns half a turn. One way locks the tilt the other way releases it. (I dont think there is a prop to keep it tilted though.)
