Trailer Switch - Sea Ray 260 Sundancer Owner's Manual

S
ECTION
If you raise the stern drive up too far while you are
on plane, you could cause a loss of speed and
power due to condition called propeller "ventilation."
If this happens, there will be a sudden increase in
engine RPM and loss of speed. Do not let this
condition exist. Immediately reduce your engine
RPM and trim the outdrives DOWN slightly until
engine slows down and you regain forward speed.
The trim gauge indicates the position of the stern
drive relative to the transom.
REFER TO YOUR ENGINE OPERATOR'S
MANUAL FOR PROPER
SETTING.

The trailer switch (power trim switch) (Figure 2.14.1)
is not to be confused with the power trim function.
The trailer switch is to be used only when the engine
is OFF.
The trailer switch allows the drive unit to be raised
for trailering, beaching and launching. To operate,
press and hold the trailer switch until the drive unit
reaches the end of upward travel. The mechanism
that raises the lower unit will stop operating at the
end of the upward travel. To bring the drive unit down
into boating position, push the power trim switch
down.
