Power trim and tilt switches (twin bin-
nacle type)
The power trim and tilt system adjusts the out-
board motor angle in relation to the transom.
Pushing the switch “
” (up) trims the out-
board motor up, and then tilts it up. Pressing
the switch “
” (down) tilts the outboard motor
down and trims it down. When the switch is re-
leased, the outboard motor will stop in its cur-
rent position. For instructions on using the
power trim and tilt switches, see pages 51 and
53.
TIP:
On the dual engine control, the switch on the
remote control grip controls both outboard
motors at the same time.

Trim tab with anode
WARNING
EWM00840
An improperly adjusted trim tab could
cause difficult steering. Always test run af-
ter 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.
