Power Trim and Tilt

The outboard has a trim/tilt control called power trim. This enables the operator to easily adjust the position of the
outboard by pressing the trim switch. Moving the outboard in closer to the boat transom is called trimming in or
down. Moving the outboard further away from the boat transom is called trimming out or up. The term trim generally
refers to the adjustment of the outboard within the first 20° range of travel. This is the range used while operating
the boat on plane. The term tilt is generally used when referring to adjusting the outboard further up out of the
water. With the engine turned off and ignition switch turned on, the outboard can be tilted out of the water. At low
idle speed, the outboard can also be tilted up past the trim range to permit, for example, shallow water operation.
