FEATURES AND CONTROLS

56 eng

The most significant control hazard is a pull or torque that can be

felt on the steering wheel or tiller handle. This steering torque

results from the outboard being trimmed so the propeller shaft is

not parallel to the water surface.

WARNING

Trimming the outboard beyond a neutral steering condition

may result in a pull on the steering wheel or tiller handle and

loss of boat control. Maintain control of the boat if trimming

beyond a neutral steering condition.

Consider the following lists carefully.

1. Trimming in or down can:

• Lower the bow

• Result in quicker planing off, especially with a heavy load

or a stern heavy boat

• Generally improve the ride in choppy water

• Increase steering torque or pull to the right (with the

normal right‑hand rotation propeller)

• In excess, can lower the bow of some boats to a point

where they begin to plow with their bow in the water while

on plane. This can result in an unexpected turn in either

direction (called bow steering or oversteering) if any turn

is attempted, or if a significant wave is encountered.

WARNING

Operating the boat at high speeds with the outboard trimmed

too far under can create excessive bow steer, resulting in the

operator losing control of the boat. Install the trim limit pin in a

position that prevents excessive trim under and operate the

boat in a safe manner.
