CAUTION
THE BOAT TRIM SHOULD BE ADJUSTED TO PROVIDE
BALANCED STEERING AS SOON AS POSSIBLE EACH TIME
YOU GET UNDERWAY. SOME BOAT / ENGINE / PROPELLER
COMBINATIONS MAY CREATE BOAT INSTABILITY AND / OR
HIGH STEERING TORQUE WHEN OPERATED AT OR NEAR THE
LIMITS OF THE “BOW UP” OR “BOW DOWN” POSITIONS. BOAT
STABILITY AND STEERING TORQUE CAN ALSO VARY DUE
TO CHANGING WATER CONDITIONS. IF YOU EXPERIENCE
ABNORMAL BOAT INSTABILITY AND / OR HIGH STEERING
TORQUE, SEE YOUR AUTHORIZED REGAL DEALER.
Trim Adjustment Caution
Use Of Power Trim_____________________________
The power trim is normally used prior to accelerating onto a plane,
after reaching the desired RPM or boat speed and when there is a
change in water or boating conditions. Position passengers and
equipment in the boat so that the weight is balanced correctly fore
and aft as well as side to side. Trimming will not compensate for an
unbalanced load.
Your power trim is operated by a switch on the binnacle control lever.
Set the power trim to the full down position before accelerating onto
a plane. To operate the trim, push the trim switch up until the desired
bow position is reached. The trim may be operated at any boat speed
or at rest. Avoid operating the trim system when running in reverse.
Observe the trim/tilt gauge on the dash, which indicates the boats
bow position achieved by the trim angle of the drive unit. “Bow Up”,
corresponds to the upper portion of the trim range on the gauge
while “Bow Down” corresponds to the lower portion of the trim
range on the gauge.
