Should an engine intake or an exhaust or
cooling hose rupture, turn the engine off and
close the seacock immediately. Proceed under
tow, if necessary, to a service facility for
appropriate repairs; maintain a close visual
watch on the problem hose and also on the
bilge water level.
E - 6 RUNNING ANGLE & POWER TRIM/
TILT
Hull planing surfaces have the least amount of drag at
a three to five degree angle with the water. This is the
preferred running angle when boating. The running
angle has a signifi cant impact on top speed and
handling. Heavy load or certain water conditions may
make it difficult to achieve the optimum running angle.
See Figure E4.
Figure E4: Running Angle
A. Power Trim
Trim angle is how far in or out, the lower unit is
positioned in relation to the bottom of the boat.
The trim angle of the lower unit has a distinct affect
on the running angle of the boat.
The running angle can be controlled through the use
of power trim (stern drives) and/or trim tabs. See
Section E-8 - Trim Tabs and Section S-7 - Trimming
Your Boat for information on the use of trim tabs and
tilt/trim control switches.
The power trim system permits control of the trim
angle of the drive unit relative to the boat, at the touch
of a button.
It allows the drive unit to be raised (trimmed out) for
shallow water operation. Power trim also allows the
operator to adjust the drive unit while under way to
provide the ideal running angle for a given load and
water condition. Additional information can be found
in the engine owner’s manual.
B. Power Tilt
Power tilt allows the operator to raise and lower
the drive unit for trailering, launching, and beaching.
Additional information on power tilt can be found in
the engine manufacturer’s manual included with this
manual.
