In this case, decrease the trim angle by
setting the thrust rod in a lower hole.
Improper Trim Angle (bow dips into
the water)
If the trim angle is too small, the bow will
dip into water, the speed will decrease,
and water may enter the boat.
In this case, the trim angle should be
increased by setting the thrust rod in a
higher hole.
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 caus-
ing the steering difficulty that leads to acci-
dent during cruising.
Do not cruise at high speed if improper
trim position is suspected. Stop the boat
and readjust trim angle before continu-
ing cruise.
For outboard motor model with PTT
switch on the bottom cowl, do not oper-
ate the switch during cruising, or control
of boat may be lost.
