Power trim and tilt switches (twin
binnacle type)

The power trim and tilt system adjusts the out-
board motor angle in relation to the transom.
Pushing the switch “

” (up) trims the out-

board motor up, then tilts it up. Pressing the
switch “

” (down) tilts the outboard motor

down and trims it down. When the switch is re-
leased, the outboard motor will stop in its cur-
rent position.

NOTE:

On the dual engine control, the switch on
the remote control grip controls both out-
board motors at the same time.

For instructions on using the power trim and
tilt switches, see pages 35 and 37.

Trim tab with anode

The trim tab should be adjusted so that the
steering control can be turned to either the
right or left by applying the same amount of
force.

WARNING

EWM00840

An improperly adjusted trim tab could
cause difficult steering. Always test run af-
ter the trim tab has been installed or re-
placed to be sure steering is correct. Be
sure you have tightened the bolt after ad-
justing the trim tab.

If the boat tends to veer the left (port side),
turn the trim tab rear end to the port side “A” in
the figure. If the boat tends to veer the right
(starboard side), turn the trim tab end to the
starboard side “B” in the figure.

CAUTION:

ECM00840

The trim tab also serves as an anode to
protect the engine from electrochemical
corrosion. Never paint the trim tab as it will
become ineffective as an anode.
