Trim Limiter Rod
The trim limiter rod prevents excessive trim down.
As the engine is trimmed to the full down position,
the bow of the boat goes deeper into the water.
If th e trim limiter rod is lef t out, the bo w could
•
plow into the wat er cau sing the boa t to "bow
steer" resulting in a loss of control.
If the trim limiter rod is set too far o ut, the p ro-
•
peller could ventilate, resulting in poor accelera-
tion when the boat is coming onto plane.

Set th e trim limiter rod to pre vent excessive trim
down and provide good acceleration. The trim lim-
iter rod can be u sed to prevent th e gearcase or
spray deflector from contacting the transom.
When the outboard is returned to the cus-
tomer, the trim limiter rod must be
installed and in the same location as it
was when the motor was brought in for
service. Leaving the trim limiter rod out, or
changing the adjustment, could allow the
motor to unexpectedly trim in too far and
cause loss of control.
