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.
1) Stop the engine.
2) Place the tilt-lock lever in the release
position.
3) Hold the rear of the top cowling with
one hand and tilt the engine to the
desired angle.

lock position to support the engine.
To raise the bow (“trim-out”), tilt the
engine up.
To lower the bow (“trim-in”), tilt the
engine 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.
