When running at high engine speeds, be sure
the trim tabs are in the full up position. Trim tab
action should be only enough to compensate
for any listing. Trim tab adjustments at high
speeds are extremely critical. Be prepared to
slow down should handling difficulties arise.
Whenrunninginadisplacement(veryslowspeed)mode,
better efficiency will be obtained with the trim tabs in the
full-up position.
C. Trim Tab Maintenance
Check the fluid level of the trim tab reservoir often. Al-
ways keep the fluid level between the designated marks
onthetrimtabpump-reservoir. Refertothemanufactur-
ers information for specifications on the type of fluid to
be used and other operation and maintenance infor-
mation.

INSTRUMENTATION
The helm station on Freedom™/Horizon™ models are
equippedwithacompletesetof individual engineinstru-
ment gauges. These instrument gauges allow the boat
operator to constantly monitor the operational condition
of the engine. Close observation of these instrument
gauges could save the engine from damage. See Fig-
ures E3 & E4 for examples of helm layouts.

Never exceed the maximum recommended
operating rpm of your engine. Maintaining maxi-
mum, or close to maximum rpm for extended
periods can reduce the life of the engine.
Some engines are equipped with devices that limit engine
rpm in accordance with the oil pressure, or engine tem-
