Trim Ranges
P0016628
In order to utilize the information gained from the trim
instrument, it is essential to know about the different
trim ranges and their uses. There are three trim ranges
as described below.
Trim Range
Trim range for a Duoprop drive is any angle between
-5° and 8°. This range is used to obtain the best com-
fort at all running speeds (from start to maximum
speed).
The trim number corresponds to the drive angle in
relation to the horizontal (stationary boat). The lowest
value shows that the drive is at max trim in and the
highest value that the drive is raised to max. Note that
the lowest value can vary from boat to boat depending
on the angle of the transom.
Beach Range
Beach range is any angle between 8° and 30°. This
range is used for running at reduced speed in shallow
water or where water depth is uncertain.
NOTICE!
Maximum safe engine speed when running
in beach range is 1000 rpm. Make sure the drive’s
coolant inlet is never trimmed out of the water.
Tilt Range
Tilt range is any angle over 30°. It is used to lift the
drive to maximum height,
but not when the engine
is running
. This range is used for trailing or putting
the boat on the trailer. Power trim has an automatic
stop that cuts the power when its end limit has been
reached. The stop is reset automatically when activat-
ing down trimming.
CAUTION!
Operating in beach range or tilt range will cause
significant loss of maneuverability.
NOTICE!
Use the trim release button whenever
switching to Beach Range or Tilt Range. For additional
information, please refer to
