* Starting position for best acceleration to plane.
* Lowers bow, providing better stability and ride in rough water.
* Reduces boat speed and economy due to increased drag of hull and drive.
* More spray over bow.
General trim up (or "out") characteristics are:
* Raises the bow of the boat out of the water resulting in less hull in the water.
* Greater speed and economy for a given throttle setting.
* Greater maneuverability (provided prop does
not ventilate during the
maneuver).
* In excess, the reduced stability can lead to bouncing, porpoising and
propeller ventilation.
In addition to providing ideal boat performance, the power-trim / tilt enables the motor or
drive unit to be raised (tilted up) for trailering, beaching, and launching. Avoid operating
the trim switch if travel of the motor is blocked, or it has reached the limits of travel.
Prop
If your Pro-Line was ordered with a factory installed engine, it will have a propeller that
has been performance tested to provide the best all-round performance for your engine /
hull combination at sea level. In some situations, it may be desirable to re-prop your Pro-
Line to enhance desired performance needs. For instance:
