Trim Angle - TOHATSU 40B2 Owner's Manual

6. Trim angle

The following instructions explain how
to set the best trim angle of the boat.
EFO type
The trim angle is adjusted by setting
the thrust rod in the correct thrust rod
hole.
■ Proper trim angle
The trim angle is optimum when the
boat is parallel to the water surface
while running.
■ Improper trim angle (bow rises too
high)
If the trim angle is excessive, the
bow will rise out of the water and the
speed will decrease.
Furthermore, the bow may sway or
the bottom may slam the water while
cruising.
In this case, decrease the trim angle
by setting the thrust rod in a lower
hole.

■ Improper Trim Angle (bow dips into
the water)
If the trim angle is too small, the bow
will dip into water, the speed will
decrease, and water may enter the

In this case, the trim angle should be
increased by setting the thrust rod in
a higher hole.
