62Y-9-1C-3 3/20/03 10:23 AM Page 15 E EMU01412 TRIMMING OUTBOARD MOTOR The trim angle of the outboard motor helps determine the position of the bow of the boat in the water. The correct trim angle will help improve performance and fuel economy while reducing strain on the engine. The correct trim angle depends upon the combination of boat, engine, and propeller. Correct trim is also affected by variables such as the load in the boat, sea conditions, and running speed.
62Y-9-1C-3 3/20/03 10:23 AM Page 16 E ADJUSTING TRIM ANGLE EMU01401 Power Trim/Tilt Model w 8 Be sure all people are clear of the outboard motor when adjusting the trim/tilt angle, also be careful not to pinch any body parts between the drive unit and clamp bracket. 8 Use caution when trying a trim position for the first time. Increase speed gradually and watch for any signs of instability or control problems.
62Y-9-1C-3 3/20/03 10:23 AM Page 17 E EMU01916 q 001672 w Trim angle settings and boat handling When the boat is on plane, a bow-up attitude results in less drag, greater stability and efficiency. This is generally when the keel line of the boat is up about 3 to 5 degrees. With the bow up, the boat may have a greater tendency to steer to one side or the other. Compensate for this as you steer. The trim tab can also be adjusted to help offset this effect.
62Y-9-1C-3 3/20/03 10:23 AM Page 18 E NOTE: Depending on the type of boat, the outboard motor trim angle may have little effect on the trim of the boat when operating. EMU01200 TILTING UP/DOWN If the engine will be stopped for some time, or if the boat is moored in shallows, the engine should be tilted up to protect the propeller and casing from damage by collision with obstructions, and also to reduce salt corrosion. 000817 cC Before tilting the motor, follow the procedures under “STOPPING ENGINE”.
