If needed, the outboard will tilt up or down manually:
Trimming
Turn the manual release screw counterclockwise,
slowly, until it lightly contacts its retaining ring —
about 3 and 1/2 turns.
Reposition the engine.
Tighten the manual release screw to hold the en-
gine in its new position.
To operate the power trim, push and hold the trim/
tilt switch in the desired bow direction, either bow-
up or bow-down. The engine will move until the
switch is released or the engine reaches its maxi-
mum position.
The boat will be properly trimmed when the trim an-
gle provides a bow position that results in the best
boat performance for your operating conditions.
You must use a speedometer and tachometer to
determine boat and engine performance at different
trim positions. To help maintain steering stability
and good performance, always maintain the proper
trim angle, which varies depending on the combina-
tion of boat, motor, propeller, and operating condi-
tions.
To familiarize yourself with power trim, make test
runs with the boat’s bow at various positions. Note
the time it takes for the boat to plane, the tachome-
ter and speedometer readings, and the ride and ac-
tion of the boat.
