The provided Power tilt makes tiltup/down electrically. It may be used as a power trim and tilt when the outboard motor is used with the light load condition. In this case, it can be adjusted to set the desired trim angle of the outboard motor in relation to the transam shape, planing speeds and load. It is imperative that the trim angle is adjusted correctly. Incorrect adjustment will cause the boat to sway, deteriorate engine performance and may cause unsafe steering conditions.
!
The power Tilt can be set to any trim angle, however, avoid cruising with the outboard motor tilted in the tilt range. Operating the boat in this manner, the outboard motor may ingest air into the water cooling system, resulting in engine overheadting.
