Figure 4.7 – Tilt/Trim Button on the Throttle
Tilt and trim are both controlled by the same component on the Outboard, but they have
different functions. Tilting refers to the operator making large adjustments to the Outboard angle
by raising the Outboard all or most of the way up and out of the water, whereas trimming
involves the operator making very small adjustments to the Outboard angle while the boat is in
motion.
4.2.4 Tilting
Tilting is generally performed when the boat is stationary in preparation for trailering or
launching, or when operating at slow speeds in shallow water. The tilt range of the Outboard is
14.6° to 67.1° relative to a vertical plane. The Outboard cannot be raised into the tilt range while
running at high power, but it can be lowered down into the trim range.
● To tilt the Outboard, put the Throttle in the neutral position and press the Power button
until the Start Screen is shown.
● Verify that the Outboard is clear of any obstructions or people.
● Push the trim up or down button on the Throttle until the Outboard is tilted to the desired
position, then release the button.
Tilting the Outboard from the fully down position to the fully up position should only take
approximately 15 seconds. If the tilt/trim is laboring or taking longer than that, stop tilting and
examine the Outboard for anything inhibiting the tilt operation.
4.2.5 Trimming
Trim refers to the running angle of the boat as it moves through the water. When the trim of the
Outboard is adjusted, the bow (the front of the boat) will be either raised or lowered. The trim
range of the Outboard is -2.7° to 14.6° relative to a vertical plane.
