Tilting
Trim
If the tilted outboard’s cover contacts the
boat’s motor well, limit the maximum tilt by fol-
lowing the procedures in Tilt Limiter Cam on
page 45.
In most operating conditions, it is recom-
mended to trim the outboard to the full down
position when accelerating. Once on plane,
trim the outboard up for best performance.
Over-trimming increases engine RPM while
decreasing speed. The best trim setting is
when the highest speed is achieved with the
lowest engine RPM.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT use the tilt support le-
ver while trailering. Refer to Trailering on

period of time, engage the tilt support lever:
