•
Pressing (DN): Moves the outboard in closer to the boat transom, called
trimming in or down.
•
Pressing (UP): Moves the outboard further away from the boat transom,
called trimming out or up.
•
The term trim generally refers to the adjustment of the outboard within
the first 20° range of travel.
•
The term tilt generally refers to adjusting the outboard further up 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.
Power Trim Operation
With most boats, operating around the middle of the trim range will give
satisfactory results. Trimming your outboard all the way in or out may improve
performance, but cause some potential control hazards.
