Trimming outboard motor
The trim angle of the outboard motor helps
determine the position of the bow of the boat
in the water. Correct trim angle will help im-
prove performance and fuel economy while
reducing strain on the engine. Correct trim
angle depends upon the combination of
boat, engine, and propeller. Correct trim is
also affected by variables such as the load in
the boat, sea conditions, and running speed.
Excessive trim for the operating condi-
tions (either trim up or trim down) can
cause boat instability and can make
steering the boat more difficult. This in-
creases the possibility of an accident. If
the boat begins to feel unstable or is hard
to steer, slow down and/or readjust the
trim angle.
Inthe braket there is 4 o 5 holes to adjust the
motorboard trim angle
1 Stop the engine
2 Remove the trim stick from the bracket while
slightly lifting the motor board.
3 Insert back the trim stick onto the desired
hole.
To raise the bow (“trim-out”), move the stick
away from the bow.
To lower the bow (“trim-in”), move the stick-
towards the bow.
