Some boats plow, or are difficult to
plane, when operated in the lowest
trim position. If your boat handles un-
suitably when trimmed fully bow-
down, adjust the trim.

1. Parallel to the surface of the water
2. Trim switch UP
3. Trim switch DOWN
The boat should accelerate quickly,
plane easily, and run parallel to the
surface of the water at high speeds.
If trim position is too LOW the front of
boat will be DOWN and push water.
If trim position is too HIGH the front of
boat will be UP and bounce.
iiTTrriimm
Your outboard is equipped with
iTrim™, a trim assist feature. By de-
fault, this feature is disabled from the
factory.
Use the
Evinrude ICON-Touch , ICON
CS
digital display, or other Evinrude
approved devices to enable iTrim™. If
your boat is not equipped with an
ICON™ digital display, your Dealer
must use
Evinrude Diagnostic soft-
ware to enable this feature.
To activate the iTrim™, the key switch
must be in the ON position. Use the
trim/tilt switch to trim the engine to the
full DOWN position.
During operation, the outboard will au-
tomatically trim up or down to an ac-
ceptable trim angle based on pre-
programmed parameters.
IIMMPPOORRTTAANNTT: Use of the trim/tilt
switch to manually adjust the outboard
trim angle will temporarily deactivate
iTrim™.
To reactivate the iTrim™, use the trim/
tilt switch to trim the engine to the full
down position then bring the engine to
idle speed.
TTrriimm
In most operating conditions, it is rec-
ommended to trim the outboard to the
full down position while accelerating.
As the boat comes on plane, trim the
outboard up for best performance.
Run the boat in the water to determine
the best trim angle.
