OUTBOARD MOTOR ANGLE
INSPECTION (cruising)
INCORRECT
CAUSES BOAT TO "SQUAT"
INCORRECT
CAUSES BOAT TO "PLOW"
CORRECT
GIVES MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE
Install the outboard motor at the
best trim angle for stable cruising
and maximum power.
Trim angle too large: Incorrect
causes boat to "squat."
Trim angle too small: Incorrect
causes boat to "plow."
The trim angle differs according to
the combination of the boat,
outboard motor, and propeller,
and the operating conditions.
Adjust the outboard motor so that
it is perpendicular to the water
surface (i.e. axis of the propeller is
parallel with the water surface).
