Trim Instruments
The trim instrument indicates the current trim position.
Your boat may be equipped with an analog or a digital
trim instrument. The SX drive has an analog trim in-
strument only. The DP-S drive may have either an an-
alog or a digital trim instrument.
Analog Trim Instrument
The analog trim instrument has three main ranges:
•
Trim Range
–Use trim range for maximum com-
fort, under normal operation, from start to maxi-
mum 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; however, this range cannot
be used during boat operation. Use this range
ONLY
when you are transporting your boat.
CAUTION! Operating in beach range or lift
range will cause significant loss of maneu-
verability.
WARNING! The maximum safe engine speed
in the Beach Range is 1000 RPMs. Operating
in beach range above idle speed, or for pro-
longed periods of time, may cause serious
drive damage. Always check that the cooling
water intake is below the surface of the water
when running in Beach Range.
