WARNING
• If the trim angle is too small, the boat
may “plow” or “bow steer”, causing
instability. If the trim angle is too large,
steering control may be lost, the boat
may “chine walk” from side to side or
“porpoise” up and down, all of which
may cause occupants to be thrown
overboard.
• Do not operate the engine above 1500
r/min or operate the boat in a planing
attitude with the engine beyond the
maximum trim position (in other words,
in a tilt position). In a tilt position, the
swivel bracket will not have side sup-
port from the clamp bracket, and the
tilt system will be unable to cushion the
engine if the lower unit strikes an
obstruction. This could lead to occu-
pant injury. In addition, beyond the
maximum trim position, the water
intake holes may be above the water
line, resulting in severe engine damage
from overheating.
