Trim

The power trim system allows the operator to raise and lower motor through out a infinite
number of settings between its upper and lower limits. For every throttle setting there is a
trim setting that will yield optimal speed, stability or maneuverability.
For most conditions the best all-round performance is obtained when the bow of the boat
is slightly out of the water, with all motors trimmed to the same degree.
General trim down (or "in") characteristics are:
* Starting position for best acceleration to plane.
* Lowers bow, providing better stability and ride in rough water.
