To help maintain steering stability and good
performance, always maintain the proper trim
angle as shown in the illustration. The appropri-
ate trim angle varies depending on the combi-
nation of the boat, engine, and propeller, as well
as operating conditions.
•
Trim angle too large (Boat tends to “porpoise”)
• Trim angle too small (Boat tends to “plow”)
• Proper trim angle
Tilt range

Make a test run in the boat to determine if the
trim angle needs to be adjusted. Adjust the trim
angle using the Power Trim and Tilt system. If
necessary, you can change the limit of down-
ward travel that can be achieved using the
Power Trim and Tilt by moving the tilt pin to
another position.
While operating your boat with the motor
adjusted to the proper trim angle, observe the
position of the needle on the TRIM GAUGE pro-
vided as optional part. When making future trim
angle adjustment, use the TRIM GAUGE as a
guide.
NOTICE
If you operate the boat with the motor trimmed
beyond the maximum trim position, the water
intake holes may be above the water line,
causing severe engine damage due to over-
heating.
Never operate the boat with the motor
trimmed beyond the maximum trim position.
