The power trim & tilt system allows you to raise and
lower the engine(s) outdrive for trailering, launch-
ing and beaching. The switch is a momentary switch;
which means that constant pressure must be applied
to the switch during the raising and lowering cycle.
This also allows for ideal boat angle (in relation to
the water surface) for a given load and water condi-
tion. In most cases, best all-round performance is ob-
tained with the engine adjusted so that the boat will
run at a 3° to 5° angle to the water. The power trim
is located on the gear shift/throttle lever.
Boats can be operated in a manner and speeds
resulting in trim angles that cause visibility to be
obscured. Motor trim, hull trim plane and speed
are factors that affect a boats trim angle.

Your 240 Outrage has the option of using a state of
the art drive-by-wiregear shift and throttle control
system. The Digital Throttle/Shift (DTS)® is the lat-
est technology in recreational boating. There is a
separate users manual that will detail the various
systems that can be controlled by the DTS®. Read
and follow all instructions regarding the proper use
of the DTS® system. The DTS® system can be moni-
tored through the use of the SC5000 display. The SC
5000 will give you a visual readout of all functions
regarding your boats engine(s), direction, and appli-
cable fluid capacities.
