ADJUSTING TRIM ANGLE

EMU00951
Manual tilt model
There are 4 or 5 holes provided in the
clamp bracket to adjust the outboard
motor trim angle.
1) Stop the engine.
2) Remove the trim angle adjusting rod
1 from the clamp bracket while tilt-
ing the motor up slightly.
3) Reposition the rod in the desired
hole.
To raise the bow ("trim-out"), move the
rod away from the transom.
To lower the bow ("trim-in"), move the
rod toward the transom.
Make test runs with the trim set to differ-
ent angles to find the position that works
best for your boat and operating condi-
tions.

8 Stop the engine before adjusting the
trim angle.
8 Use care to avoid being pinched when
removing or installing the rod.
8 Use caution when trying a trim posi-
tion for the first time. Increase speed
gradually and watch for any signs of
instability or control problems. Improp-
er trim angle can cause loss of control.
NOTE:
The outboard motor trim angle can be
changed approximately 4 degrees by
shifting the trim adjusting-rod one hole.
