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.
Proper trim angle
The position of the thrust rod is correct if
the hull is horizontal during operation.

WARNING
 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.
WARNING
Excessive trim up or down may lead to
unstable boat operation, potentially caus-
ing the steering difficulty that leads to acci-
dent during cruising.
 Do not cruise at high speed if improper
trim position is suspected. Stop the boat
and readjust trim angle before continu-
ing cruise.
