ciency. This is generally when the keel line of
the boat is up about 3 to 5 degrees. With the
bow up, the boat may have a greater tenden-
cy to steer to one side or the other. Compen-
sate for  this as you  steer. The trim  tab can
also  be adjusted  to  help  offset this  effect.

Bow Up
Too much trim-out  puts the bow of the  boat
too high in the water. Performance and econ-
omy are  decreased because the  hull of the
boat is pushing the  water and there is more
air drag. Excessive  trim-out can also  cause
the propeller to ventilate, which reduces per-
formance  further,  and  the  boat may  por-
poise(hop in the water),  which could throw
the operator and passengers overboard.
