REFER TO THE ENGINE MANUFACTURER’S MANUAL
IN YOUR OWNER’S MANUAL PACKET FOR COMPLETE
INSTRUCTIONS, INFORMATION AND WARRANTY.
It is recommended to have the engines trimmed all
the way down or in for best visibility and reduced
planing time. Once on-plane adjust trim angle for
maximum engine RPM and effi ciency.
Although power trim can be used to adjust the
boat’s attitude in the water, it is highly ineffi cient.
A propellor is designed to move the boat forward.
When trimming the boat with the propeller you are
asking the prop to not only push the boat forward but
raise the stern also. This situation greatly increases
prop slippage thereby wasting RPM’s. In addition,
power trim cannot correct listing and is ineffi cient
at slow speeds.
When power trim is used in combination with the trim
tabs (See page 3-57), the hull and the prop can be
trimmed independently for maximum performance
and effi ciency.
To achieve maximum performance, first adjust
the trim tabs to the desired running attitude. Then,
using the power trim, adjust the prop parallel to the
water fl ow. It may be necessary to re-adjust and fi ne
tune the trim tabs to achieve optimum attitude and
performance.

Trim Guidelines
When running in choppy waters it is suggested that
you trim your prop out to keep the bow high and
proceed at slower speed with caution.
Running in heavy seas (3-4 feet) requires increased
attention to the control of your boat. As such it is
best to trim the engine far enough down to keep the
boat level and on plane at slower speeds.
AVOID DAMAGE
Be aware that the port engine cowl can hit the
livewell if the engine is turned to the port and
trimmed fully UP.
