Trimming outboard motor

The trim angle of the outboard motor helps

determine the position of the bow of the boat

in the water. Correct trim angle will help im-

prove performance and fuel economy while

reducing strain on the engine. Correct trim

angle depends upon the combination of

boat, engine, and propeller. Correct trim is

also affected 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

steering the boat more difficult. This in-

creases 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.

Power trim and tilt models

WARNING

EWM00750

●

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

clamp bracket.

●

Use caution when trying a trim position

for the first time. Increase speed gradu-

ally and watch for any signs of instabil-

ity or control problems. Improper trim

angle can cause loss of control.

●

Use the power tilt switch located on the

bottom engine cowling (if equipped)

only when the boat is at a complete

stop with the engine off.
