To lower the bow (“trim-in”), move the rod to-
ward 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.
TIP:
The outboard motor trim angle can be
changed approximately 4 degrees by shifting
the trim rod one hole.

Be sure all people are clear of the out-
board motor when adjusting the trim
angle. Body parts can be crushed be-
tween the motor and the clamp bracket
when the motor is trimmed or tilted.
Use caution when trying a trim position
for the first time. Increase speed gradu-
ally and watch for any signs of instabil-
ity or control problems. Improper trim
angle can cause loss of control.
If equipped with a power trim and tilt
switch located on the bottom cowling,
use the switch only when the boat is at
a complete stop with the engine off. Do
not adjust the trim angle with this
switch while the boat is moving.
(1) Move the gear shift lever to the neutral
position.
TIP:
While the boat is moving, it may be difficult to
adjust the trim angle due to water pressure.
Before adjusting the trim angle, reduce the
boat speed and shift into neutral.
(2) Tilt the outboard motor to the desired an-
gle using the power tilt switch.
