10 Trim Angle Adjusting
Only adjust the outboard trim angle when the outboard is stationary.
There are ve trim angle options including 60°,15°,10°,5° and 0°. Adjust the outboard
trim angle based on specic conditions. E.g. when the boat is in shallow water or the
outboard is not in use, tilt the outboard and adjust the trim angle to 60°. For normal
operation, x it to a proper trim angle where the shaft is vertically downward during
operation. Be reminded that the best trim angle varies by boat type, operation condi-
tions, weather, etc.

Tilting up
Detach the Tiller rst before tilting the outboard motor up to the position with
max trim angle.
Do not use the tiller handle to tilt or lift your outboard. The tiller handle is not
designed to support the weight of the outboard, and damage may occur. Please
use the cowling to support the weight of the outboard while lifting and tilting.
Pull up the trim lever with one hand, and lift the outboard shaft with the other hand to
enlarge the trim angle to a particular degree. Then, release the trim lever to lock the
trim angle.
Tilting Down
The release button is raised when the trim angle is maximum at 60° position. Press
the release button and tilt up the propeller shaft slightly to about 80° position, then lay
it down, and the outboard shaft will return to 0° position.
