Transom Angle Adjusting Rod
The transom angle adjusting rod limits the
angle of the outboard motor when fully
lowered.
Proper adjustment prevents the outboard
motor from being trimmed too low.
To adjust, first tilt the outboard motor so it '
is not resting against the rod. Remove
the nut, then remove the rod and insert it
in the desired position. Reinstall the nut
and tighten it securely.

Start with the transom angle adjusting
rod in the hole closest to the boat tran-
som, lower the motor and operate the
boat at full speed. If the bow is exces-
sively low stop the boat. Tilt the motor
up and raise the transom angle adjust-
ing rod one more hole away from the
transom and retest. The optimum boat
trim is when the boat is parallel with
the water.
The motor should never be operated
with the transom angle adjusting rod
removed.
