If you strike a solid object:
• Throttle back and shut off the engine immediately.
• Closely inspect the boat and drive unit (especially the
transom shield assembly that contains steering system
components)
• Check the engine compartment for water leakage.
If there is obvious or suspected damage, operate the boat
at low RPM and take it to a Volvo Penta dealer for inspec-
tion. Have necessary repairs made immediately. Only
operate your boat if absolutely necessary. Operating a
damaged unit could cause additional damage and could
become very costly to repair.
Caution!
Always check your boat and engine for damage. Failure
to inspect for damage may
• Result in sudden loss of steering control.
• Adversely affect your boat’s capability to resist high-
speed impacts.
When moving in
REVERSE,
there is no impact protection.
Be very careful when moving in
REVERSE.
Do not exceed
2500 RPM.

Power trim/tilt
Your Volvo
Penta sterndrive is equipped with a power trim/
tilt system as standard equipment. The power trim/tilt
allows you to change the angle of the drive unit from the
helm. Changing the angle of the drive unit in relation to the
boat bottom is called
trimming.
Trimming provides these
benefits:
• Improves acceleration to planing
• Keeps the boat on plane at reduced throttle settings
• Improves fuel economy
• Provides smoother and/or drier ride in choppy water
conditions
• Increases maximum speed
If you do not wish to use this feature, you may leave the
drive unit trimmed to the position that works best for you.
