ADJUSTING THE DEPTH OF THE MOTOR (TRIM) WITH THE FOOT PEDAL
ADJUSTING THE DEPTH OF THE MOTOR (TRIM) WITH THE FOOT PEDAL
Once the boat is on the water, it may be necessary to adjust the trim of the lower unit up or down to achieve an optimum
depth for motor performance. When setting the depth of the motor, be sure the top of the motor is submerged at least
12" below the surface of the water to avoid churning or agitation of surface water. There will be times when you will need
to move your motor up or down depending on how your boat is responding. You can trim up to avoid hitting underwater
objects and you can trim down if your prop is coming out of the water. If your motor is equipped with Advanced GPS
Navigation, please refer to the wireless remote Owner's Manual to learn how to adjust the trim with the remote.
When trimming the motor using either a remote or the Foot Pedal, the motor is programmed to operate safely and limit
prop rotation when it is within certain limits. Please refer to the wireless remote owner's manual to learn how to adjust the trim with the
wireless remote. The prop will temporarily stop while trimming the motor and resume once trimming is stopped. Trim limits are in place
to avoid damage to the unit. An upper trim limit is set 12" from the bottom of the motor mount to the center of the motor. A lower trim
limit is set approximately 1.5" from the bottom of the control head to the trim housing. A prop lockout region, defined as 17" from
bottom of motor mount to center of motor, is used to eliminate the possibility of the motor contacting the boat hull. All functions with
the exception of manual steer and track record are canceled upon trimming into this region.
