ADJUSTING TRIM ANGLE
EMU00951
Manual tilt model
There are 4 or 5 holes provided in the
clamp bracket to adjust the outboard motor
trim angle.
1) Stop the engine.
2) Remove the trim angle adjusting rod 1
from the clamp bracket while tilting the
motor up slightly.
3) Reposition the rod in the desired hole.
To raise the bow (“trim-out”), move the rod
away from the transom.
To lower the bow (“trim-in”), move the rod
toward the transom.
Make test runs with the trim set to different
angles to find the position that works best
for your boat and operating conditions.

instability or control problems.
Improper trim angle can cause loss of
control.

The outboard motor trim angle can be
changed approximately 4 degrees by shift-
ing the trim adjusting-rod one hole.
