Power Trim & Tilt
Power trim and tilt adjust a stern drive or outboard
propeller's angle to the hull. The switch is on the gear
shift/throttle lever.
Trim generally refers to an approximate 20 degree range
used for normal in-water operation. Tilt refers to more
extreme angles of adjustment.
Operating boat with the outboard engine tilted up may expose
cooling water intake holes, causing the engine to overheat or the
water pump to fail. To avoid damage due to overheating, keep
water intake holes below the water line.
