WARNING
 Be sure all people are clear of the out-
board motor when adjusting the trim an-
gle. Body parts can be crushed between
the motor and the clamp bracket when
the motor is trimmed or tilted.

ally and watch for any signs of instability
or control problems. Improper trim an-
gle can cause loss of control.
 If equipped with a power trim and tilt
switch located on the bottom cowling,
use the switch only when the boat is at a
complete stop with the engine off. Do
not adjust the trim angle with this switch
while the boat is moving.
1. Move the gear shift lever to the neutral
position.
TIP:
While the boat is moving, it may be difficult to
adjust the trim angle due to water pressure.
Before adjusting the trim angle, reduce the
boat speed and shift into neutral.
2. Tilt the outboard motor to the desired an-
gle using the power tilt switch.
