• Do not put hand or finger in
between outboard motor body and
clamp bracket when adjusting trim
angle to prevent injury in case the
outboard motor body falls.
• Unsuitable trim position can cause
loss of control of boat.
When testing a trim position, run
boat slow initially to see if it can be
controlled safely.

Excessive trim up or down may lead
to unstable boat operation, potentially
causing the steering difficulty that
leads to accident during cruising.

improper trim position is suspected.
Stop the boat and readjust trim
