In rare circumstances, the owner may decide to limit the trim in. This can be accomplished
by repositioning the tilt stop pins into whatever adjustment holes in the transom brackets
is desired.
Avoid possible serious injury or death. Adjust outboard to an intermediate trim po-
sition 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.

If an adjustment is required, purchase a stainless steel tilt pin (P/N 17-49930A1) and insert
it through whatever pin hole is desired. The non-stainless steel shipping bolt should not be
used in this application other than on a temporary basis.
