Trim
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.

Lower the outboard to operating position.
You can tilt the outboard to any position with-

faster than idle speed. If idling a tilted out-
board, keep its water intakes submerged at
all times.
Manual Release Valve
If needed, the outboard will tilt up or down
manually, using the manual release valve.
WARNING
Keep everyone clear of a tilted out-
board when backing out the manual
release screw. The outboard could
drop suddenly and forcibly. Be sure to
tighten the manual release screw after
manually repositioning the outboard.
Tightening the screw also reactivates
the outboard’s impact protection and
reverse thrust capability.
