ADJUSTING THE DEPTH OF THE MOTOR (TRIM) WITH THE FOOT PEDAL
The Prop will temporarily stop while trimming the motor and
resume once trimming is stopped. The motor is programmed
to operate safely and limit Prop rotation when the Lower Unit is
trimmed within certain limits. Trim limits are in place to avoid
damage to the unit. A Lower Trim Limit is set approximately 11/2"
from the bottom of the Control Head to the top of the Trim Housing.
An Upper Trim Limit is set 12" from the bottom of the Mount to the
center of the Lower Unit. A Prop Lockout Region, defined as 14"
from the bottom of the Mount to the center of the Lower Unit, is
used to eliminate the possibility of the motor contacting the boat
hull. All functions, except for manual steering and recording an
iTrack, are canceled upon trimming into this region.
