    Features Trim instruments The trim instrument indicates the current trim position. Your boat may be equipped with an analog or a digital trim instru- ment, as shown. The SX drive has an analog trim instrument only. The DP-S drive may have either an analog or a digital trim instrument.
  • Page 38 Features Digital trim instrument (DP-S) This instrument displays a figure (the angle of the drive to a stationary boat) within a range. Trim range: Use trim range for maximum comfort, under normal operation, from start to maximum speed (maximum range up to 5). Beach range: Use beach range for operating at reduced speed in shallow water, where water depth is uncertain.
  • Page 39: Trim/Tilt Motor Protection

    Check the engine compartment for water leakage. If there is obvious or suspected damage, operate the boat at low RPM and take it to a Volvo Penta dealer for inspection. Have necessary repairs made immediately. Only operate your boat if absolutely necessary. Operating a damaged unit could cause additional damage and could become very costly to repair.
  • Page 40: Power Trim/Tilt

    Many factors influence the way a propeller performs, including hull shape, onboard weight, engine horsepower, power trim, and the way the boat is used. Ask your Volvo Penta dealer to assist you in choosing a propeller that is right for your needs.

    You will be able to steer the boat, but with increased effort. See your authorized Volvo Penta dealer as soon as possible to correct your power steering system. At slow speeds (no wake), your boat may tend to wander. This is normal and may be overcome by anticipating bow direction and correcting with steering wheel.

    Any malfunction of the trim/tilt system could result in a loss of impact protection. Malfunction can also result in loss of reverse thrust capability. If malfunction occurs, see your authorized Volvo Penta dealer. Power trim/tilt switch operation Trimming and tilting the drive is done from a control switch mounted on the remote control or by using the switches on the dash.
  • Page 56: Power Trim/Tilt Switch And Gauge Location

    If you suspect there is a problem, see your Volvo Penta dealer as soon as possible for proper diagnosis and required service or adjustment. Continued operation could result in damage to the shift mechanism and loss of shift and throttle control that could result in personal injury.
