The provided Power tilt makes tilt-up/
down electrically. It may be used as a
power trim and tilt when the outboard
motor is used with the light load condition.
In this case, it can be adjusted to set the
desired trim angle of the outboard motor in
relation to the transom shape, planning
speeds and load. It is imperative that the
trim angle is adjusted correctly. Incorrect
adjustment will cause the boat to sway,
deteriorate engine performance and may
cause unsafe steering conditions.

The Power Trim & Tilt can be set to any trim
angle, however, avoid cruising with the out-
board motor tilted in the tilt range. Operat-
ing the boat in this manner, the outboard
motor may ingest air into the water cooling
system, resulting in engine overheating.
