Power Trim And Tilt (If Equipped) - Mercury 25 EFI FourStroke User Manual

Power Trim and Tilt (if Equipped)

Your 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 your boat on plane. The term tilt is generally used
when referring to adjusting the outboard further up and out of the
water. With the engine turned off, 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.
