Power Trim and Tilt
The 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 trimming down. Moving the
outboard further away from the boat transom is called trimming out
or trimming 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 the boat on plane. The term tilt is generally
used when referring to adjusting the outboard further up out of the
water. With the engine not running and the key switch in the "ON"
position, the outboard can be tilted out of the water. At low idle
speed (2000 RPM and below), the outboard can also be tilted up
past the trim range to permit shallow water operation.
