tions (either trim up or trim down) can
cause boat instability and can make
steering the boat more difficult. This in-
creases the possibility of an accident. If
the boat begins to feel unstable or is
hard to steer, slow down and/or readjust
the trim angle.
The trim angle of the outboard motor helps
determine the position of the bow of the
boat in the water. Correct trim angle will
help im- prove performance and fuel
economy while reducing strain on the
engine. Correct trim angle depends upon
the combination of boat, engine, and
propeller. Correct trim is also affected by
variables such as the load in the boat, sea
conditions, and running speed.
