Trim Angle Adjustment
WARNING
Boat stability and steering torque can vary due to changing water condi-
tions. If any adverse conditions occur, reduce throttle and/or adjust tilt angle
to maintain control. If you experience boat instability and/or high steering
torque, see your Dealer to correct these conditions.
If the bow of the boat plows the water at high speeds, the boat may bow
steer or spin suddenly, possibly ejecting or otherwise seriously injuring
occupants.
Trim angle adjustment is accomplished by changing the location of the tilt pin.
Run the boat in the water to determine the best trim angle.
IMPORTANT: Weight distribution can affect the performance of the boat. Distribute weight
evenly in the boat before adjusting trim angle.
The boat should accelerate quickly, plane easily, and run parallel to the surface of the water
at high speeds.
If tilt pin is positioned too LOW the front of boat will be DOWN and push water.
If tilt pin is positioned too HIGH the front of boat will be UP and bounce.
To adjust the trim angle:
•
•
Place the outboard in full TILT position. Refer to Tilt Support Bracket on page 26.
Turn the angle adjusting rod handle up. Push in against spring so retainer will release, then
slide rod assembly all the way out.
•
•
Insert tilt pin in desire position. Make sure the tilt pin passes through both stern brackets.
Push in against retainer to lock in place. Make sure the tilt pin assembly is locked on the
stern bracket.
