IMPORTANT: While in shallow water drive position, do not operate the

water intake submerged.
Trim Adjustment
Trim of the motor can be adjusted to suit the transom angle and loading
conditions of your boat. Be sure to maintain the anti‑ventilation plate parallel to
the water level during cruising.
•
Correct trim: Maintain the trim position pin perpendicular to the water
level to keep your boat level during cruising.
•
Trim down: If the bow rises too high, causing unstable cruising, trim the
trim position pin down.
