• Improper trim angle results in
unstable steering condition.
• Do not trim excessively while
cruising through rough waves, or
it may cause an accident.
• Excessive trim angle can result in
cavitation and racing of the
propeller, and trimming up the
outboard motor excessively can
cause damage to the impeller
pump.
• Decrease the trim angle on high
speed turns to reduce the
possibility of propeller ventilation.
• Improper outboard motor trim
angle can result in an unstable
steering condition.

improve boat stability.
(C)Through rough waves, do not trim the outboard motor too low or too high
to avoid an unstable steering condition.
