ADJUSTING THE DEPTH OF THE MOTOR (TRIM) WITH THE FOOT PEDAL
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 motor is submerged at least 12" below the surface of the water
to avoid churning or agitation of surface water. There will be times when you will need to move your motor up or down depending on how
your boat is responding. You can trim up to avoid hitting underwater objects and you can trim down if your prop is coming out of the water.
When trimming the motor using the Foot Pedal, the motor is programmed to operate safely and limit prop rotation when it is within
certain limits. The prop will temporarily stop while trimming the motor and resume once trimming is stopped. Trim limits are in place to
avoid damage to the unit. An upper trim limit is set 12" from the bottom of the mount to the center of the lower unit. A lower trim limit is
set approximately 1.5" from the bottom of the control head to the trim housing. A prop lockout region, defined as 14" from the bottom
of mount to the center of the lower unit, is used to eliminate the possibility of the motor contacting the boat hull. All functions, with the
exception of manual steer and track record, are canceled upon trimming into this region.
NOTICE: To avoid churning or agitation of surface
water, ensure that the top of the motor is submerged
at least 12" below the surface of the water.
NOTICE: You can only trim your motor while in
Ulterra Mode.
