It is necessary to trim the angle of the
outboard motor to compensate for
changes in boat load, weight
distribution, water conditions, or
propeller selection.
Under normal conditions, the boat
will perform best when the
antiventilation plate is level with the
water surface.
When cruising into a high wind,
adjust the outboard motor down
slightly to level the boat and improve
stability. With a tail wind, adjust the
outboard motor up slightly.
Excessive trim/tilt angle during
operation can cause propeller
ventilation, overheating, and water
pump damage. This type of damage
is not covered by the
