WARNING
Excessive tr im up or down may lead to
unstable boat operation, potentially causing
the steering difficulty that leads to accident
during cruising.
Do not cruise at high speed if improper
trim position is suspected. Stop the boat
and readjust trim angle before continuing
cruise.
For outboard motor model with PTT
switch on the bottom cowl, do not oper-
ate the switch during cruising, or control
of boat may be lost.
The trim angle of the outboard motor
can be adjusted to suit the transom
angle of the hull, and load conditions.
Choose an appropriate trim angle that
will allow the anti-ventilation plate to
run parallel to the water surface during
operation.
