Trim Adjustment

Trim of the motor can be adjusted to suit the transom angle and
loading conditions of your boat. Be sure to maintain the
anti‑ventilation plate parallel to the water level during cruising.
• Correct trim: Maintain the trim position pin perpendicular to
the water level to keep your boat level during cruising.
• Trim down: If the bow rises too high, causing unstable
cruising, trim the trim position pin down.
