WARNING
Avoid possible serious injury or death. Adjust outboard to an intermediate trim position as soon as boat is on
plane to avoid possible ejection due to boat spin out. Do not attempt to turn boat when on plane if outboard
is trimmed extremely in or down and there is a pull on the steering wheel.
Some boats, particularly some bass boats, are built with a greater than normal transom angle, which will allow
the outboard to be trimmed further in or under. This greater trim under capability is desirable to improve
acceleration, reduce the angle and time spent in a bow high boat during planing off, and in some cases, may be
necessary to plane off a boat with aft live wells, given the variety of available propellers and height range of
engine installations.
However, once on plane, the engine should be trimmed to a more intermediate position to avoid a bow-down
planing condition called plowing. Plowing can cause bow steering or over steering and inefficiently consumes
horsepower.
