* Raises the bow of the boat in the water, resulting in less hull in the water.
* Greater speed and economy for a given throttle setting.
* Greater maneuverability (provided prop does not ventilate during the
maneuver)
* In excess, the reduced stability can lead to bouncing, porpoiseing and
propeller ventilation.
In addition to providing ideal boat performance, the power trim enables the motor or
drive unit to be raised (tilted up) for trailering, beaching, and launching.
The electric motor that drives the hydraulic pump is protected by an internal thermal
circuit breaker that interrupts the power when overheated. Avoid continued pressure on
the switch after the unit has reached the limits of travel (you can hear the difference in
sound as the pump strains against the increased load).
