- General Information
Arrange passengers and the load in the boat so the weight is distributed
evenly.
a - Too much angle (bow up) ‑ adjust in
b - Not enough angle (bow down) ‑ adjust out
c - Angle adjusted properly (bow slightly up)
NOTE: The outboard should be locked against the tilt pin during operation, by
setting the tilt lock lever to the lock position.
Consider the following items carefully when adjusting the operating angle of
your outboard.
Adjusting the outboard close to the boat transom can:
• Lower the bow.
• Result in quicker planing off, especially with a heavy load or a stern heavy
boat.
• Generally improve the ride in choppy water.
• Increase steering torque or pull to the right (with the normal right‑hand
rotation propeller).
• In excess, lower the bow of some boats to a point where they begin to
plow with their bow in the water while on plane. This can result in an
unexpected turn in either direction (called bow steering or oversteering), if
any turn is attempted or if a significant wave is encountered.
Adjusting the outboard away from the boat transom can:
• Lift the bow out of the water
• Generally increase top speed
