 WARNING
Trim angle greatly affects steering stability. If
the trim angle is too small, the boat may
"plow" or "bow steer". If the trim angle is too
large, the boat may "chine walk" from side to
side or "porpoise" up and down. These condi-
tions, which result in loss of steering control,
can cause occupants to be thrown overboard.
Always maintain proper trim angle based on
the combination of your boat, engine, and pro-
peller, as well as operating conditions.
 WARNING
If you operate the motor with the tilt pin
removed, you may not be able to control steer-
ing as expected.
Do not operate the motor with the tilt pin
removed.
