    5.8.5.2 Adjusting the Boat's Trim Angle When the boat is planing, raising the bow appropriately reduces resistance, improves stability, and enhances efficiency. Typically, the boat's centerline is raised by 3° to 5°. If the bow is raised too far, the boat tends to turn to one side or the other, requiring compensation during steering. Lowering the bow makes it easier to accelerate from a standstill to planing speed.
