ADJUSTING TRIM ANGLE
Power trim/tilt model
w
Be sure all people are clear of the out-
board motor when adjusting the tilt
angle, also be careful not to pinch any
body parts between the drive unit and
clamp bracket.
The outboard motor trim angle can be
adjusted operating the power trim and tilt
switch.
To raise the bow (“trim-out”), push the
switch UP.
To lower the bow (“trim-in”), push the
switch DOWN.
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.

Power trim and tilt switch
w
Use caution when trying a trim position
for the first time. Increase speed gradual-
ly and watch for any signs of instability or
control problems. Improper trim angle
can cause loss of control.
c C
Do not operate the power trim in or tilt
down while the trim angle adjusting rod
is removed.
The trim angle adjusting rod is provided
to prevent over compressing of the
power trim and tilt cylinder. If the trim
angle adjusting rod is removed, damage
to the power trim and tilt cylinder may
occur.
