ADJUSTING TRIM ANGLE
Manual tilt model
There are 4 or 5 holes provided in the
clamp bracket to adjust the outboard
motor trim angle.
1)
Stop the engine.
2) Remove the trim angle adjusting rod
from the clamp bracket while tilting
the motor up slightly.
3) Reposition the rod in the desired hole.
To raise the bow (“trim-out”), move the
rod away from the transom.
To lower the bow (“trim-in”), move the
rod toward the transom.
Make test runs with the trim set to differ-
ent angles to find the position that works
best for your boat and operating condi-
tions.
