7. Trim angle

The trim angle of the outboard motor can
be adjusted to suit the transom angle of
the hull, and load conditions. Choose an
appropriate trim angle that will allow the
anti-ventilation plate to run parallel to the
water surface during operation.

Do not put hand or finger in between
outboard motor body and clamp bracket
when adjusting trim angle to prevent
injury in case the outboard motor body
falls.
Unsuitable trim position can cause loss
of control of boat. When testing a trim
position, run boat slow initially to see if it
can be controlled safely.

ing cruise.
