ACTIVE TRIM

Active Trim should be congured by your engine and/or SmartCraft Connect installer.

Active Trim behavior
As the boat accelerates, the engine will trim out, and as the boat decelerates (E.g. when making a turn),
the engine will trim in.
Follow the prompts and alerts, and take necessary action where required.
¼ Note: Active Trim allows the boat operator to compensate for changes in boat load, driver preferences,
and weather conditions while maintaining full automatic control. Use the manual trim buttons at any
time to override Active Trim.
