ECTION
If you raise the stern drives up to 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 gauges indicate the position of the stern
drive relative to the transom.
REFER TO YOUR ENGINE OPERATOR'S MANUAL
FOR PROPER TRIM GAUGE SETTING.

The trailer switch (power trim switch) (Figure 2.8.1)
is not to be confused with the power trim function.
The trailer switch is to be used only when the en-
gine 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 (Figure 2.8.1) 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

CAUTION
Always check oil pressure and water gauges while
moving, even if your engine has an alarm.
Shut down engine immediately if gauges are not in
normal ranges, or alarm sounds.
Do not restart engine until problems are corrected.
The engine Operator's Manual will tell you if your
engine is equipped with an audible alarm and how
to use it.
The alarm indicates a problem with engine water
temperature, oil pressure and/or stern drive oil
level.

ACHOMETER
The tachometer indicates the revolutions per min-
ute (RPM) of the engine. (It does not indicate the
speed of the boat.) Your Engine Operator's Manual
indicates the maximum full throttle RPM at which
your engine should operate. This must not be ex-
ceeded or serious engine damage will occur. The
tachometer should also be used to determine the
most comfortable and economical cruising RPM.
