Power Trim
Power trim allows the operator to adjust the sterndrive angle while underway, to provide
the ideal boat angle for varying load and water conditions. Also, the trailering feature allows
the operator to raise and lower the sterndrive unit for trailering, beaching, launching, low
speed (below 1200 RPM engine speed) and shallow water operation.
!
WARNING
Excessive trim can cause serious injury or death at high speeds. Use caution when
trimming the sterndrive, and never trim out beyond the gimbal ring support flanges while
the boat is underway or at engine speeds above 1200 RPM.
