injury in case the outboard motor body
falls.
Unsuitable trim position can cause loss of
control of boat. When testing a trim posi-
tion, run boat slow initially to see if it can
be controlled safely.

unstable boat operation, potentially causing

and readjust trim angle before continuing
cruise.

ation.
