Adjust the operating angle of the outboard so that the outboard runs
perpendicular to the water when the boat is at full speed.
Arrange passengers and load in the boat so the weight is distributed evenly.
NOTE: The outboard should be locked against the tilt pin during operation by
setting the tilt lock lever to the lock position.
Power Trim and Tilt (if Equipped)
POWER TRIM AND TILT
Your outboard has a trim/tilt control called power trim. This enables the
operator to easily adjust the position of the outboard by pressing the trim
switch. Moving the outboard in closer to the boat transom is called trimming in
or down. Moving the outboard further away from the boat transom is called
trimming out or up. The term trim generally refers to the adjustment of the
outboard within the first 20° range of travel. This is the range used while
operating your boat on plane. The term tilt is generally used when referring to
adjusting the outboard further up and out of the water. With the engine turned
off, the outboard can be tilted out of the water. At low idle speed, the outboard
can also be tilted up past the trim range to permit, for example, shallow water
operation.
