Page 53: Procedure
Operation Trimming outboard motor WARNING Excessive trim for the operating condi- tions (either trim up or trim down) can cause boat instability and can make steer- ing the boat more difficult. This increases the possibility of an accident. If the boat begins to feel unstable or is hard to steer, slow down and/or readjust the trim angle. -
