Trimming outboard motor
EWM00740
Excessive trim for the operating condi-
tions (either trim up or trim down) can
cause boat instability and can make steer-
ing the boat more difficult. This increases
the possibility of an accident. If the boat
begins to feel unstable or is hard to steer,
slow down and/or readjust the trim angle.
The trim angle of the outboard motor helps
determine the position of the bow of the boat
in the water. The correct trim angle is affected
by variables, such as the load in the boat, sea
conditions, and running speed.
