BOAT TRIM
The performance of your boat depends on load weight and distribution.
Distribute weight evenly, from bow to stern, and also from port to starboard.
After loading, the boat’s trim can be adjusted by changing the engine trim
angle and trim tabs.
DRIVE TRIM ANGLE
Engine trim angle is the angular relationship between the lower drive unit
and the transom of the boat. Boat trim while underway greatly affects boat
performance and efficiency. For best results, the boat should be on plane
and trimmed to reduce the wetted surface. With less boat in the water, both
speed and fuel economy increases. Engines with manual trim must be
adjusted for best overall operation for the load and conditions. Engines with
power trim should be adjusted continuously for best results.
