CAUTION
Avoid excessive wear on the U‑joint/input shaft. The VI drive
does not have a trim limit switch. Depressing the trim or trailer
buttons allows the drive to be tilted to its full extension without
stopping at a preset trim limit. The drive's position should be
monitored with the trim gauge(s) so that the drive is not trimmed
excessively.
In most cases, best overall performance is obtained with the drive
unit adjusted so the boat bottom will run at a 3° to 5° angle to the
water.
