For instructions on using the power trim and

WARNING
EWM01031
Use the power trim and tilt switch located
on the bottom cowling only when the boat
is at a complete stop with the engine off.
Attempting to use this switch while the
boat is moving could increase the risk of
falling overboard and could distract the
operator, increasing the risk of collision
with another boat or an obstacle.

Trim tab with anode
WARNING
EWM00840
An improperly adjusted trim tab could
cause difficult steering. Always test run
after the trim tab has been installed or re-
placed to be sure steering is correct. Be
sure you have tightened the bolt after ad-
justing the trim tab.
The trim tab should be adjusted so that the
steering control can be turned to either the
right or left by applying the same amount of
force.
If the boat tends to veer to the left (port side),
turn the trim tab rear end to the port side “A”
in the figure. If the boat tends to veer to the
right (starboard side), turn the trim tab end to
the starboard side “B” in the figure.
NOTICE
ECM00840
The trim tab also serves as an anode to
protect the engine from electrochemical
corrosion. Never paint the trim tab as it
will become ineffective as an anode.
