Power Trim (cont.)
3 Trimming Drive Unit DOWN/IN Can:
•
Help the boat accelerate and plane off quicker.
•
Generally improve the ride in choppy water.
•
In most cases, reduce boat speed.
•
If in excess, lower the bow of some boats to a point at which they
begin to plow with their bow in the water while on plane. This can
result in an unexpected turn in either direction called "bow steer-
ing" or "over steering" if any turn is attempted, or if a significant
wave is encountered.
