Power Trim
Power Trim
Power trim in an EVC installation is operated from
the main or secondary station using the power trim
buttons on the power trim control panel or on the con-
trol lever(s). The position of the drive is shown on the
trim instrument (digital or analog) or in the display(s).
The engine can not be started with the drive in the
“tilt range” (high position).
NOTICE! Avoid over-trimming the drive system as this
can have a severely adverse effect on the steering of
the boat.
NOTICE! When planing, avoid running with the drive
fully trimmed for long periods. Apart from excessive
fuel consumption, this can cause cavity damage to the
propeller(s).
Power Trim Buttons
51280
The buttons on the power trim control panel are used
for both single and twin engine installations.
For twin engine installations, the power trim control
panel can be used to make individual or simultaneous
adjustments to the drives.
By trimming out the drive away from the transom, the
height of the bow will be “raised” in relation to the hor-
izontal axis, while trimming in the drive will “lower” the
bow of the boat.
In single engine installations, the drive can be oper-
ated by pressing button
1 or button 4 .
In twin engine installations, both drives can be oper-
ated simultaneously by pressing buttons
2 & 3 or but-
tons 5 & 6 .
Trimming out the Drive
Press button 1 on the control panel or the trim
button(s) on the control lever to raise the bow of the
boat (drive trimmed out).
The drives can be operated separately by pressing
button
2 on the control panel for the port drive and
button 3 for the starboard drive.
Trimming in the Drive
Press button 4 on the control panel or the trim
button(s) on the control lever to lower the bow of the
boat (drive trimmed in).
The drives can be operated separately by pressing
button
5 on the control panel for the port drive and
button 6 for the starboard drive.
