trol lever to neutral, then press OK. The screen

Penta dealer.
Power Trim
Power Trim
Power trim in an EVC installation is operated from
the main or secondary station using the power trim
buttons on the power trim panel or on the control
lever(s). The position of the drive is shown on the trim
instrument (digital or analog) or in the display(s).
The engine can not be started with the drive in the
“tilt range” (high position) unless you use Crank
Override Mode (see below). Do not run the engine
above idle speed while the drive is in tilt range.
NOTICE! Avoid over-trimming the drive system as this
can have a severely adverse effect on the steering of
the boat.
NOTICE! When planing, avoid running with the drive
fully trimmed for long periods. Apart from excessive
fuel consumption, this can cause cavity damage to the
propeller(s).
