Setting The Transom Angle Of Your Outboard

The vertical transom angle of your outboard is adjusted by changing the
position of the preset tilt knob in one of the three adjustment holes provided.
Proper adjustment allows the boat to achieve optimum performance,
stability, and minimize steering effort.
NOTE: Refer to the following lists when adjusting the transom angle of your
outboard.
The preset tilt knob should be adjusted so the outboard is positioned to run
perpendicular to the water when the boat is running at full speed. This
allows the boat to be driven parallel to the water.
