fected by variables such as the load in the
boat, sea conditions, and running speed.
WARNING
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.

● Be sure all people are clear of the out-
board motor when adjusting the tilt an-
gle, also be careful not to pinch any
body parts between the drive unit and

or control problems. Improper trim an-
gle can cause loss of control.
● Use the power tilt switch located on the
