Installing and Removing Propeller
Trim “In” Angle Adjustment
! WARNING
Operating some boats with outboard trimmed to the
full “in” trim angle [not using trim adjustment bolt (a)]
at planing speed will cause undesirable and/or unsafe
steering conditions. Each boat must be water tested
for handling characteristics after outboard installation
and after any trim adjustments.
IMPORTANT: Some boat/outboard combinations, that
do not use the trim adjustment pin (a) and are trimmed
to the full “in” trim angle, will not experience any unde-
sirable and/or unsafe steering conditions during plan-
ing speed. Thus, not using trim adjustment pin may be
desired. However, some boats with outboard trimmed
to the full “in” trim angle at planing speeds will cause
undesirable and/or unsafe steering conditions. If
these steering conditions are experienced, under no
circumstances should the outboard be operated with-
out the trim adjustment pin and without the pin ad-
justed in the proper holes to prevent unsafe handling
characteristics.
Water test the boat not using the trim adjustment pin. If un-
desirable and/or unsafe steering conditions are experi-
enced (boat runs with nose down), install trim adjustment
pin in proper hole to prevent unsafe handling characteris-
tics.
