Avoid possible serious injury or death. Adjust outboard to an
intermediate trim position as soon as boat is on plane to avoid
possible ejection due to boat spin out. Do not attempt to turn
boat when on plane if outboard is trimmed extremely in or down
and there is a pull on the steering wheel or tiller handle.
• In rare circumstances, the owner may decide to limit the
trim in. This can be accomplished by purchasing a stainless
steel tilt pin from your dealer and inserting it in whatever
adjustment hole in the transom brackets is desired. The
non-stainless steel shipping bolt should not be used in this
application other than on a temporary basis.
2. Trimming Out or Up can:
• Lift the bow higher out of the water.
• Generally increase top speed.
• Increase clearance over submerged objects or a shallow
bottom.
• Increase steering torque or pull to the left at a normal
installation height (with the normal right hand rotation
propeller).
• In excess can cause boat porpoising (bouncing) or
propeller ventilation.
• Cause engine overheating if any cooling water intake holes
are above the water line.
TRIM WITHOUT KEY
Trim without key is a method of allowing trim operation after the
ignition key switch is turned off. The command module and PCM
remain powered and are able to process trim requests for up to 15
minutes after the key switch is turned off. The command module
does not process any requests other than trim during this period.
Once the 15 minute period expires, the command module sends
a command through the CAN lines to shut down the PCM. On
multi-engine applications, the timeout is managed seperately for
each engine.
