Mercury 225 Pro XS User Manual page 51

FEATURES AND CONTROLS
• Cause boat porpoising (bouncing) or propeller ventilation.
• Cause engine overheating if any cooling water intake holes are above
the water line.
LIMITING TRIM IN
In rare circumstances, the owner may decide to limit the trim in to avoid
unsafe handling or steering condistions at planing speeds.
Avoid possible serious injury or death. Adjust outboard to an intermediate
trim position as soon as boat is on plane to avoid possible ejection due
to boat spin out. Do not attempt to turn boat when on plane if outboard
is trimmed extremely in or down and there is a pull on the steering wheel.
Avoid possible injury or death. Always perform a water test to examine
boat handling and steering after making any trim in limiting adjustments.
Operating a boat with a full trim angle without the aid of a trim in limiting
device may result in undesirable or unsafe steering conditions.
IMPORTANT: Some boat/engine combinations not using a trim angle
adjustment device, or trimmed to the full trim in position, may not exhibit
any undesirable or unsafe handling or steering conditions. In these cases,
a trim limiting device may not be advantageous to acceleration or planing.
Always perform a water test to determine if these characteristics apply to
a particular boat/engine combination.
Purchase a stainless steel tilt pin from your dealer and insert it in whatever
adjustment hole in the transom brackets is desired.
