Power Trim (continued)
POWER TRIM OPERATION (CONTINUED)
WARNING
Avoid possible serious injury or death. Adjust outboard to an
intermediate trim position as soon as boat is on plane to avoid
possible ejection due to boat spin-out. Do not attempt to turn
boat when on plane if outboard is trimmed extremely in or
down and there is a pull on the steering wheel.
Trimming Out or Up can:
• Lift the bow higher out of the water.
• Generally increase top speed.
• Gain clearance over submerged objects or a shallow bottom.
• Increase steering torque or pull to the left at a normal installation
height (with the normal right hand rotation propeller).
• In excess, cause boat “porpoising” (bouncing) or propeller ventila-
tion.
• Cause engine overheating if any cooling water intake holes are
above the water line.
