Improper Trim Angle
(bow rises too high)
If the trim angle is excessive, the
bow will rise out of the water and the
speed will decrease.
Furthermore, the bow may sway or
the bottom may slam the water while
cruising.
In this case, decrease the trim angle
by pressing the switch on the remote
control level to "DN".
■
Improper Trim Angle
(bow dips into the water)
If the trim angle is too small, the bow
will dip into the water, the speed
will decrease, and water may enter
the boat. In this case, the trim angle
should be increased by pressing the
switch on the remote control lever to
"UP".
■
Proper Trim Angle
The trim angle is optimum when the boat is
parallel to the water surface while running.

ENGINE OPERATION
●
Do not put hand or finger in between
outboard motor body and clamp
bracket when adjusting trim angle to
prevent injury in case the outboard
motor body falls.
●
Unsuitable trim position can cause
loss of control of boat.
When testing a trim position, run
boat slow initially to see if it can be
controlled safely.
Excessive trim up or down may lead
to unstable boat operation, potentially
causing the steering difficulty that
leads to accident during cruising.
●
Do not cruise at high speed if
improper trim position is suspected.
Stop the boat and readjust trim
angle before continuing cruise.
●
For outboard motor model with PTT
switch on the bottom cowl, do not
operate the switch during cruising,
or control of boat may be lost.
