3. Reposition the rod in the desired hole. Make test runs with the trim set to different angles to
find the position that works best for your boat and operating conditions.
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.
2.12 Tilting up and down
If the engine will be stopped for some time or if the boat is moored in shallows, the outboard motor
should be tilted up to protect the propeller and casing from damaged by collision with obstructions,
and also to reduce corrosion.
WARNING:
Be sure all people are clear of the outboard motor when tilting up and down, also be careful
not to pinch any body parts between the drive unit and engine bracket.
NOTE:
Do not tilt up the engine by pushing the tiller handle because this could break the handle. The
outboard motor cannot be tilted when in reverse.
