Power Trim and Tilt
Your outboard has a trim/tilt control called power trim. This enables
the operator to easily adjust the position of the outboard by
pressing the trim switch. Moving the outboard in closer to the boat
transom is called trimming in or down. Moving the outboard further
away from the boat transom is called trimming out or up. The term
trim generally refers to the adjustment of the outboard within the
first 20° range of travel. This is the range used while operating your
boat on plane. The term tilt is generally used when referring to
adjusting the outboard further up out of the water. With the engine
turned off, the outboard can be tilted out of the water. At low idle
speed, the outboard can also be tilted up past the trim range to
permit, for example, shallow water operation.

POWER TRIM OPERATION
The power trim and tilt feature of the outboard is convenient for
drifting and when operating at low throttle speed in very shallow
water. When under power, do not trim out the outboard in an effort
to gain speed as is done with a conventional propeller driven boat.
