ADJUSTING TRIM ANGLE
There are 5 holes (2/9.9/15-hp model: 4
holes) provided in the engine bracket to
adjust the outboard motor trim angle.
To adjust the trim angle, first stop the
engine. Then, remove the adjusting rod
from the engine bracket assembly and —
while tilting the motor — 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 different angles to find the position that
works best for your boat and operating
conditions.

8 Stop the engine before adjusting the
trim angle.
8 Use care to avoid being pinched when
removing or installing the rod.
8 Use caution when trying a trim position
for the first time. Increase speed gradu-
ally and watch for any signs of instabili-
ty or control problems. Improper trim
angle can cause loss of control.
