Adjust the power trim by using a switch at the helm area or on the throttle control.
Trim gauges are available in most applications to provide a visual gauge-to-trim
position. Most gauges indicate trim position between UP (out, away from the
transom) and DOWN (in, closer to the transom).
General effects of power trim underway:
Trim in too far (closer to the transom):
• Speed decreases.
• Fuel economy decreases.
• Boat may handle and steer poorly.
• Boat will have difficulty achieving a proper running, planing position.
Trim out too far (away from the transom):
• Steering torque increases.
• Speed decreases.
• Fuel economy decreases.
• Boat may handle and steer poorly.
• Boat will bounce or porpoise.
• Engine RPM increases.
