Trim instruments
The trim instrument indicates the current trim position. Your
boat may be equipped with an analog or a digital trim instru-
ment, as shown. The SX drive has an analog trim instrument
only. The DP-S drive may have either an analog or a digital trim
instrument.
Analog trim instrument (SX, DP-S)
The analog trim instrument has three main ranges:
Trim range:
Use trim range for maximum comfort, under normal operation,
from start to maximum speed.
Beach range:
Use beach range for operating at reduced speed in shallow
water, where water depth is uncertain. Also use this range
when you launch and take your boat out of water onto a trailer
ramp.
Lift range:
Use lift range for lifting the drive to its maximum angle; howev-
er, this range cannot be used during boat operation. Use this
range when you are transporting your boat. The power trim has
an automatic stop feature, which cuts off the current when the
drive reaches STOP. (STOP is automatically reset when trim-
ming down.)
CAUTION!
Operating in beach range or lift range will cause sig-
nificant loss of maneuverability. Operating in beach
range above idle speed, or for prolonged periods of
time, may cause serious drive damage.
