WARNING：
Stop the engine before adjusting the trim angle.
Use care to avoid being pinched when removing or installing the rod.
Use caution when trying a trim position for the first time. Increase speed gradually and watch for
any signs of instability or control problems.
Improper trim angle can cause loss of control.
Above illustrations from left from right show three positions: Bow leaning up, Bow leaning up too high and
Bow leaning down.
With the normal bow leaning up, the water resistance is reduced and the boat may have a greater stability
and efficiency.
Too much trim-out puts the bow of the boat too high in the water. It will increase the air and water resistance
of the boat body and reduce the efficiency of the outboard. Excessive bow up can also cause the boat to
hop in the water, which could throw the operator and passengers over board.
Bow down causes the boat to “plow” through the water, giving extreme resistance to the boat. It makes
harder to increase speed and steer the boat. Excessive bow down at the high speeds can even make the
boat’s head plunge into water.
