Maneuvering
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 boat on plane at reduced throttle settings.
● Improves fuel economy.
● Provides smoother/drier ride in choppy water.
● Increases maximum speed.
The power trim is normally used before you accelerate
onto plane, after you reach the desired RPM or boat
speed, and when there is a change in water or boating
conditions. Locate passengers and equipment in the
boat so that the weight is balanced fore and aft, and
side to side. Trimming will not cancel an unbalanced
load.
The trim may be operated at any boat speed or at rest.
Avoid operating the trim system when running in
reverse.
