TRIM ADJUSTMENT
The following instructions explain how to set the best trim angle of the RIB.
The trim angle is adjusted by setting the thrust rod in the correct thrust rod hole.
- Proper Trim Angle
The trim angle is optimum when the RIB is parallel to the water surface while running.
Improper Trim Angle (bow rises too high)
If the trim angle is excessive, the bow will rise out of the water and the speed will decrease.
Furthermore, the bow may sway or the bottom may slam the water while cruising.
In this case decrease the trim angle by setting the rust rod in a lower hole.
Select a lower hole
If water from the Raider enters the RIB the motor is too low in the water. Modify the RIB
motor mounting plate to a larger height. Wing and Zodiac’s may have different transom
heights.
Improper Trim Angle (bow dips into the water) 1f the trim angle is too small,
the bow will dip
into water, the speed will decrease, and water may enter the boat.
