angle).

c Selected profile indicator

LEDs (1, 2, 3, 4, 5)

Indicates the adjustable profile currently engaged. 1 is the least aggressive trim profile; 5 is

the most aggressive.

NOTE: If the LED indicators are flashing, Active Trim is in setup mode.

Active Trim Operation

Active Trim automatically controls trim to maintain the optimum engine or drive position based on engine RPM and boat

speed.

Active Trim progressively trims out the engine or drive to maintain an efficient running attitude.

Active Trim will maintain the last known trim position when operating at speeds in excess of 80 km/h (50 mph).

Operation above 80 km/h (50 mph) may require trim adjustments using the panel mounted or control handle trim position

switch.

Active Trim will gradually return the engine or drive to the down position during deceleration.

Active Trim will only function when the engine or drive is in the normal trim range.

GPS

Active Trim uses a GPS signal to determine vessel speed. The Active Trim system will not automatically control trim until the

GPS unit has acquired a signal.

Resume Functionality

If the boat operator overrides the Active Trim system at planing speeds using the trim button, or exceeds 80 km/h (50 mph), the

system will stop controlling the trim. Active Trim will resume automatically under the following conditions:

Override occurred above 80 km/h (50 mph) and the boat operator then decelerates to below 80 km/h (50 mph).

Override occurred above 80% of the rated engine RPM and the boat operator then decelerates to below 80% of the rated

engine RPM.

Override occurred in the cruising speed range and then the boat operator decelerates to idle. Active Trim will become

active on the next acceleration.

Shallow Water Operation

Active Trim cannot detect water depth and will not trim up automatically in shallow water. The boat operator will need to

override Active Trim by trimming the engine or drive manually or pressing the 

Active Trim

 button.
