Power Trim and Tilt
The 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 trimming
down. Moving the outboard further away from the boat transom is called
trimming out or trimming 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 the boat on plane. The term tilt is generally used when referring to
adjusting the outboard further up out of the water. With the engine not running
and the key switch in the ON position, the outboard can be tilted out of the
water. At low idle speed (2000 RPM and below), the outboard can also be tilted
up past the trim range to permit shallow water operation.

b - Tilt range of travel
c - Trim range of travel
POWER TRIM OPERATION
With most boats, operating around the middle of the trim range will give
satisfactory results. However, to take full advantage of the trimming capability
there may be times when you choose to trim the outboard all the way in or out.
Along with an improvement in some performance aspects comes a greater
responsibility for the operator, this being an awareness of some potential
control hazards.
