66M-9-17-3 2/27/03 10:30 AM Page 21 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.
66M-9-17-3 2/27/03 10:30 AM Page 22 E ADJUSTING TRIM ANGLE EMU00951 Manual tilt model There are 4 or 5 holes provided in the clamp bracket to adjust the outboard motor trim angle. 1) Stop the engine. 2) Remove the trim angle adjusting rod 1 from the clamp bracket while tilting the motor up slightly. 3) Reposition the rod in the desired hole. To raise the bow (“trim-out”), move the rod away from the transom. To lower the bow (“trim-in”), move the rod toward the transom.
66M-9-17-3 2/27/03 10:30 AM Page 23 E EMU01414 Power Tilt Model UP DN w UP DN 701034 DN UP 000610 8 Be sure all people are clear of the outboard motor when adjusting the 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. Improper trim angle can cause loss of control.
66M-9-17-3 2/27/03 10:30 AM Page 24 E EMU19160 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.
66M-9-17-3 2/27/03 10:30 AM Page 25 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. EMH10111 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.
