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 differ-

ent angles to find the position that works

best for your boat and operating condi-

tions.

8 Stop the engine before adjusting the

trim angle.

8 Use care to avoid being pinched when

removing or installing the rod.

8 Use caution when trying a trim position

for the first time. Increase speed gradu-

ally and watch for any signs of instabili-

ty or control problems. Improper trim

angle can cause loss of control.

NOTE:

The outboard motor trim angle can be

changed approximately 4 degrees by

shifting the trim adjusting-rod one hole.
