Operation
Bow Up
NOTE:
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.
Depending on the type of boat, the outboard
motor trim angle may have little effect on the
trim of the boat when operating.

Tilting up and down
If the engine will be stopped for some time or
if the boat is moored in shallows, the out-
board motor should be tilted up to protect the
propeller and casing from damage by colli-
sion with obstructions, and also to reduce
salt corrosion.

WARNING
Be sure all people are clear of the out-
board motor when tilting up and down,
also be careful not to pinch any body
parts between the drive unit and engine
bracket.
