Bravo Three Notice: Trim-In Range Capability
The Bravo Three trim cylinders provide the capability for an increased trim-in range. A spacer
can be removed from the trim cylinders to increase the trim-in range by approximately 1- ½
degrees. This will improve the acceleration on some boats by forcing the bow down more
quickly. If the spacers are to be removed, the boat must be water tested to ensure that the
increased trim-in range does not cause any undesired boat handling characteristics (bow-steer,
chine-walk, etc.) if the stern drive is trimmed in while the boat is operated at higher speeds. The
boat should be tested under all conceivable load conditions and maneuvers to ensure that the
additional trim-in does not pose a problem. The final decision and responsibility for use of the
additional trim-in range is left up to the boat manufacturer.
It is recommended that only qualified personnel adjust the Trim-In Limit Spacer. Boats
must be water tested after adjusting or removing the device to ensure that the modified
trim-in range does not cause the boat to exhibit an undesirable boat handling
characteristic if the stern drive is trimmed in at higher speeds. Increased trim-in range
may cause handling problems on some boats that could result in personal injury.
