Trim ranges
In order to utilize the information gained from the trim
instrument, it is essential to know about the different
trim ranges and their uses. There are three trim rang-
es:
Trim range
The trim range is used to obtain the best comfort at all
running speeds (from start to maximum speed).
Beach range
The beach range is used for running at reduced speed
in shallow water or where water depth is uncertain.
WARNING! Max. permitted engine speed when
running in beach range is 1500 rpm. Make sure
the drive's coolant inlet is never trimmed out of
the water.
Lift range
Lift range is used to lift the drive to maximum height,
but not when running. The range is used e.g. for trai-
ling. Power Trim has an automatic stop that cuts the
power when its end limit has been reached. The stop is
reset automatically when activating down trimming.
WARNING! Never run the engine with the drive in
lift range.
Digital trim instrument
The display window will show TRIM while the drive
angle* is between -5° and +6° (Trim range).
The display window will show BEACH while the drive
angle* is between +6° and +30° (Beach range). LED (1)
lights orange.
While the drive angle* is over +30° (tilt range), the LED
(2) will light red. No text in display window.
*The number corresponds to the drive angle in relation to the hori-
zontal (stationary boat). The lowest value shows that the drive is
at max trim in and the highest value that the drive is raised to max.
Observe that the lowest value can vary from boat to boat depen-
ding on the angle of the transom.
