Congratulations on your purchase of Active Trim.
Active Trim is Mercury Marine’s patented GPS-based automatic
engine trim system. This intuitive, hands-free system continually
adjusts engine trim for changes in operating conditions to improve
performance, fuel economy, and ease of operation. It responds to
boat maneuvers with precision and delivers a better overall driving
experience. No knowledge of trimming an engine is needed to take
advantage of Active Trim.
• As the boat accelerates, the engine will trim out.
• As the boat decelerates, e.g. making a turn,
the engine will trim in.
• Active Trim can be overridden at anytime by using the regular
manual trim buttons.
• Active Trim allows the boat operator to compensate for changes
in boat load, driver preferences, and weather conditions while
maintaining full automatic control.
