ADJUSTING THE DEPTH (TRIM) OF THE RIPTIDE INSTINCT QUEST
ADJUSTING THE DEPTH (TRIM) OF THE RIPTIDE INSTINCT QUEST
Once the boat is on the water, it may be necessary to adjust the
trim of the Lower Unit up or down to achieve an optimum depth
for motor performance. When setting the depth of the motor, be
sure the top of the Lower Unit is submerged at least 12” below the
surface of the water to avoid churning or agitation of surface water.
It may be necessary to trim the motor up or down, depending on
how the boat is responding. Trim up to avoid hitting underwater
objects and trim down if the Prop is coming out of the water.
The Prop will temporarily stop while trimming the motor and resume
once trimming is stopped. The motor is programmed to operate
safely and limit Prop rotation when the Lower Unit is trimmed within
certain limits. Trim limits are in place to avoid damage to the unit.
A Lower Trim Limit is set approximately 3” from the bottom of the
Control Head to the top of the Trim Housing. An Upper Trim Limit
is set 13 ⁄” from the bottom of the Mount to the center of the
Lower Unit. A Prop Lockout Region, defined as 16” from the bottom
of the Mount to the center of the Lower Unit, is used to eliminate
the possibility of the motor contacting the boat hull. All functions,
except for manual steering and recording an iTrack, are canceled
upon trimming into this region.
