Gearshift And Throttle; Adjusting The Trim Angle; Starting The Engine - YAMARIN 62 Walk Around Owner's Manual

YAMARIN 62 Walk Around
5.9.3

Gearshift and throttle

The engine is put into gear by pushing the button on the gear/throttle handle upwards with
your fingers, and by pushing or pulling the gear/throttle lever forward or backward depending
on which direction you are planning to set out. When the engine is in gear, you adjust the boat
speed with this same gear/throttle lever.
When the boat is travelling forward slowly, you can use the reversing gear for braking, for
instance, when approaching the quay. Shifting into reverse must not be done if the boat is
travelling at higher speeds, because it damages the engine.
5.9.4

Adjusting the trim angle

The main rules in adjusting the trim angle are the following:
- when raising the boat to plane, keep the "bow down" position
- when the boat is planing and the sea is not too rough, raise the bow until the
boat begins to porpoise or the propeller looses its bite. Then lower the bow
slightly until driving feels stable. You can optimize the rig angle with the
help of log book.
- In head sea, lower the bow to obtain a smoother ride.
- In following waves, raise the bow to avoid "diving".
