Trim/tilt motor protection
IMPORTANT! Always allow the trim/tilt switch to
return to its center position when the drive unit
reaches the maximum raised or lowered position.
This will prevent your trim/tilt motor from over-
heating.
The trim/tilt motor is protected from overheating by an
internal thermal overload switch. Should the electric
motor stop while tilting, release the switch and allow
the overload switch to cool and automatically reset it-
self. When the overload switch has reset, tilting may
be resumed. Make sure the drive unit is not being res-
trained, causing the motor to overheat. If the trim mo-
tor still does not function, check the circuit breaker on
the pump/pump bracket (10 A), the inline fuse (5A) in
the Power Trim switch cabling (if mounted). Also
check the circuit breaker on the fuse box (50 A). Plea-
se refer to Electric system for more information.
Impact protection
The trim/tilt system provides impact protection for the
drive unit. Still, impact damage can occur in either
forward or reverse directions. Care must be taken:
l When operating in forward or reverse
l When backing at low speed
l When trailering boat
l When launching boat
Impact damage is more likely to occur when in a turn
where side loads are placed on the drive unit.
If the drive unit strikes a solid object, throttle back
and shut off engine immediately. Closely inspect the
boat and drive unit for damage, particularly the
transom shield assembly that contains steering
system components. Check engine compartment for
water leakage.
If there is obvious or suspected damage, operate boat
at low RPM and take your boat to a Volvo Penta
dealer for inspection. Have necessary repairs made
immediately. Operating a damaged drive unit could
cause additional damage and could become very
costly to repair.
IMPORTANT! Failure to inspect for damage
may:
l Result in sudden loss of steering control.
l Adversely affect your boat and drive unit’s
ability to resist subsequent high speed
impacts.
NOTE! When moving in reverse there is no impact
protection. Use caution when moving in reverse.
Do not exceed 2500 RPM.
