OUTBOARD INSTALLATION

The owner may decide to limit the trim in. This can be accomplished by purchasing a stainless steel tilt pin from

your dealer and insert it in whatever adjustment hole in the transom brackets is desired. A non-stainless steel

shipping bolt should not be used in this application other than on a temporary basis.
