Operation
Bow Down
Too much trim-in causes the boat to "plow"
through the water, decreasing fuel economy
and making it hard to increase speed. Operat-
ing with excessive trim-in at higher speeds
also makes the boat unstable. Resistance at
the bow is greatly increased, heightening the
danger of "bow steering" and making opera-
tion difficult and dangerous.
TIP:
Depending on the type of boat, the outboard
motor trim angle may have little effect on the
trim of the boat when operating.
EMU27934
Tilting up and down
If the engine will be stopped for some time or
if the boat is moored in shallows, the outboard
motor should be tilted up to protect the propel-
ler and lower casing from damage by collision
with obstructions, and also to reduce salt cor-
rosion.

WARNING
Leaking fuel is a fire hazard. If there is a
fuel joint on the outboard motor, discon-
nect the fuel line or close the fuel cock if
the engine will be tilted for more than a few
minutes. Otherwise fuel may leak.
