Trim Tab - HONDA marine BF115J Owner's Manual

OPERATION
Trolling Control Switch Panel
(optional equipment)
TRL (Trolling) CONTROL SWITCH
DN: Reduce engine speed
UP: Increase engine speed
The engine must be fully warmed up
before you can activate the Trolling
Speed Control.
Place the outboard motor in-gear with
the throttle control in the fully closed
(idle) position. Press and hold the UP
or DN side of the TRL control switch
to activate the Trolling Speed
Control. The buzzer will make one
long sound indicating activation.
The initial trolling speed is set at 650
rpm.
86
The engine speed can be adjusted in
50 rpm increments by pressing the
UP or DN side of the TRL control
switch. A short sound of the buzzer
occurs each time the engine speed is
adjusted.
UP
In Trolling Speed Control mode, the
DOWN
engine speed can be adjusted between
650 and 900 rpm.
Continuing to press the switch when
at either of these limits will result in
two short sounds from the buzzer.
The throttle control will operate when
in the Trolling Speed Control mode,
but once the speed reaches 3,000 rpm,
the Trolling Speed Control is
deactivated. If 3,000 rpm is not
reached and the throttle is closed, the
engine speed will decrease to the
Trolling Speed Control setting.

TRIM TAB

If steering effort is not equal in both
directions, adjust the trim tab to
compensate for ''torque steer,'' which
is the reaction of the outboard motor
to propeller rotation.
TRIM TAB
Adjust the trim tab with the engine
stopped. Loosen the bolt above the
trim tab, turn the trim tab, and then
tighten the bolt securely.
When the trim tab is correctly
adjusted, steering effort will be equal
in both directions.
Refer to TRIM TAB ADJUSTMENT
on p. 96.
