Evinrude E-TEC G2 Operator's Manual page 31

i-Trim
Your outboard is equipped with i-Trim, a trim
assist feature. By default, this feature is dis-
abled from the factory.
Use the Evinrude ICON-Touch or ICON CS
digital display to enable i-Trim. If your boat is
not equipped with an ICON digital display,
your Dealer must use Evinrude Diagnostic
software to enable this feature.
To activate the i-Trim:
• the key switch must be in the ON position
• use the trim/tilt switch to trim the engine to
the full DOWN position.
During operation, the outboard will automati-
cally trim up or down to an acceptable trim an-
gle based on pre-programmed parameters.
Use the trim/tilt switch on the control lever to
fine tune to an optimum trim angle.
IMPORTANT: Use of the trim/tilt switch to
manually adjust the outboard trim angle will
temporarily deactivate i-Trim.
To reactivate i-Trim:
• use the trim/tilt switch to trim the engine to
the full down position
• bring the engine to idle speed.
Trim
In most operating conditions, it is recom-
mended to trim the outboard to the full down
position while accelerating. As the boat
comes on plane, trim the outboard up for best
performance.
Run the boat in the water to determine the
best trim angle.
Over-trimming increases engine RPM while
decreasing speed. The best trim setting is
when the highest speed is achieved with the
lowest engine RPM.
IMPORTANT: Weight distribution can affect
the performance of the boat. Distribute weight
evenly in the boat.

prevent the engine from overheating.
Adjust the outboard position within the tilt
