6. Trim angle

The following instructions explain how
to set the best trim angle of the boat.
The trim angle is adjusted by setting
the thrust rod in the correct thrust rod
hole.
■ Proper trim angle
The trim angle is optimum when the
boat is parallel to the water surface
while running.
■ Improper trim angle (bow rises too
high)
If the trim angle is excessive, the
bow will rise out of the water and
the speed will decrease.
Furthermore, the bow may sway
or the bottom may slam the water
while cruising.
In this case, decrease the trim angle
by setting the thrust rod in a lower
hole.
