ADJUSTING TRIM ANGLE
EMU00951
Manual tilt model
There are 4 or 5 holes provided in the
clamp bracket to adjust the outboard motor
trim angle.
1) Stop the engine.
2) Remove the trim angle adjusting rod 1
from the clamp bracket while tilting the
motor up slightly.
3) Reposition the rod in the desired hole.
To raise the bow (“trim-out”), move the rod
away from the transom.
To lower the bow (“trim-in”), move the rod
toward the transom.
Make test runs with the trim set to different
angles to find the position that works best
for your boat and operating conditions.
