4.If the bow is too high or steering is difficult, your

lower unit could be trimmed up to far. Trim IN to
correct.

5.A good practice is to get underway with the unit

trimmed all the way under or IN.  After the boat
is on plane, adjust the trim out slightly to obtain
the proper bow attitude and engine RPM.

6.Trim also affects propeller selection and fuel

efficiency.  All models should be propelled" to be
in the upper half of the maximum RPM range
with the boat lightly loaded and the lower unit
trimmed up to maximum.  This configuration
will allow the engine to operate within the rec-
ommended RPM range with a heavy load.
