Mercury Premier Dual Handle ERC Quick Reference

A C T I V E T R I M
Active Trim is an intuitive, hands‑free system that continually adjusts
engine or drive trim based on changes in operating conditions to
improve performance, fuel economy and ease of operation.
At boat startup, Active Trim resumes the on/off state from
the previous shutdown. Active Trim can be overridden at any
time by using the regular manual trim switch.
To engage Active Trim
Press the ACTIVE TRIM button.
To disengage Active Trim
Press the ACTIVE TRIM button.
Active Trim Profiles
There are five trim profiles. The lower the number, the less
aggressive the trim position of the outboard or drive will be at
a lower boat speed. As the trim profile number is increased, the
more aggressive the trim position will be at lower boat speeds.
WARNING: Active Trim cannot detect water depth and will not
trim up automatically in shallow water. The boat operator will
need to override Active Trim by trimming manually or pressing
the ACTIVE TRIM button on the ERC or a VesselView display to
turn off the feature.
This Quick Reference Guide is intended to be used in concert with
your engine Operation and Maintenance Manual. Your engine
Operation and Maintenance Manual provides information on this
subject matter in greater detail.
