the.preferred.running.angle.when.boating..The.run-
ning angle has a significant impact on top speed and
handling..See.Figure.E-2..Heavy.load.or.certain.water.
conditions may make it difficult to achieve the optimum
running.angle..The.running.angle.can.be.controlled.
through.the.use.of.the.power.trim..
