If equipped with a power trim and tilt

not adjust the trim angle with this switch
while the boat is moving.
Tilt the engine to the desired angle using the
power tilt switch.
NOTE:
Stay within the trim operating angle when
trimming the outboard motor using the power
tilt system.
To raise the bow ("trim-out"), tilt the engine up.
To lower the bow ("trim-in"), tilt the engine
down.
Make test runs with the trim set to different an-
gles to find the position that works best for
your boat and operating conditions.
