BOAT TRIM
The performance of your Skeeter boat depends on load weight and distribution. Distribute weight evenly, from
bow to stern, and also from port to starboard. After loading, the boat’s trim can be adjusted by changing the
outboard trim angle.
Overloading of passengers, personal equipment and supplies could result in an accident, especially in rough
waters. Maintain a balanced load at all times.
