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 perfor-
mance further, and the boat may “porpoise”
(hop in the water), which could throw the op-
erator and passengers overboard.
