Using Your Evinrude E-TEC G2 Outboard
Trim, Tilt and Steering
Power Trim and Tilt
The trim and tilt functions of Evinrude E-TEC G2 outboards are controlled by the engine EMM.
IMPORTANT: Activating any trim button while the key switch is in the OFF position will briefly
turn on the system. This will cause the electric fuel pump to run and the remote control and
any displays or gauges to turn on. There will be a short delay before the trim system operates.
This is normal. The system will turn off after a few seconds of non-use.
Some boats plow, or are difficult to plane, when operated in the lowest trim position. If your
boat handles unsuitably when trimmed fully bow-down, adjust the trim.
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.
WARNING
When operating in rough water or crossing a wake, excessive bow-up trim may result
in the boat’s bow suddenly rising skyward, possibly ejecting or otherwise seriously
injuring occupants.
Some boat/outboard/propeller combinations may encounter boat instability and/or
high steering torque when operated at high speed at or near the outboard’s trim
range limits (full bow-up or bow-down). Boat stability and steering torque can also
vary due to changing water conditions. If any adverse conditions occur, reduce throt-
tle and/or adjust trim angle to maintain control. If you experience boat instability and/
or high steering torque, see your Dealer to correct these conditions.
WARNING
If the bow of the boat plows the water at high speeds, the boat may bow steer or spin
suddenly, possibly ejecting or otherwise seriously injuring occupants.
1. Parallel to the surface of the water
