The trim range is used to obtain the best comfort at all
running speeds (from start to maximum speed).
Power Trim
Your Volvo Penta drive is equipped with a hydraulic trim system, Power Trim, with which you can change the an-
gle of the drive in relation to the transom. This will affect the running position of the boat and make it possible to
optimize boat handling in various conditions.
NOTE!
The trim angels may have been trimmed differently than described in this chapter.
Power Trim is operated from the control position using the panels, controls and instruments described in this
chapter. The ”Operation” chapter will provide more information on running with Power Trim.
WARNING!
Avoid extreme trimming of the drive as it may have a negative effect on steering ability.
Trim controls
The drive is trimmed using the button on the control
lever (option).
By trimming out the drive away from the transom, the
height of the bow will be “raised” in relation to the hori-
zontal axis and trimming in the drive will “lower” the
bow of the boat.
For twin installations there is one trim control for each
engine.
The current position of the drive is shown on the trim
instrument, refer to the ”Trim instrument” in this chapter.
