8Stop the engine before adjusting the trim angle.

8Use care to avoid being pinched when removing or installing the rod.

8Use caution when trying a trim position for the first time. Increase speed gradually and watch for any signs of instability or control problems. Improper trim angle can cause loss of control.

NOTE:

The outboard motor trim angle can be changed approximately 4 degrees by shifting the trim adjusting-rod one hole.
