6. OPERATION (POWER TRIFdTILT TYPE)<br />
XRTA type outboard (refer to page 20)<br />
The power trim/tilt system can adjust<br />
the motor angle while cruising, or the<br />
motor tilt angle while mooring. Motor<br />
trim angle adjustment is necessary to<br />
compensate for boat load or weight<br />
distribution, water conditions, pro-<br />
peller or engine condition. The motor<br />
trim angle can be adjusted while<br />
accelerating or cruising to obtain the<br />
maximum boat speed, optimum boat<br />
stability, and fuel economy. Under<br />
normal conditions, the boat will<br />
achieve optimum boat performance<br />
when the motor is running at maxi-<br />
mum t-pm and the ventilation plate is level<br />
with the water.<br />
Press either the UP or DN portion of<br />
the power trim/Mt switch and trim the<br />
motor to the best position for the<br />
cruising conditions.<br />
The power trim/tilt system operates<br />
when the switch is pressed,and it stops<br />
when the switch is released.<br />

INOTICE] Excessive trim/tilt angle<br />
during operation can cause the propeller<br />
to raise out of the water and<br />
cause propeller ventilation and<br />
engine over-revving. Excessive<br />
trim/tilt angle rzn also damage the<br />
water pump and overheat the<br />
engine.<br />
To trim motor up slightly, press the<br />
UP portion momentarily.<br />
To trim motor down slightly, press the<br />
DN portion momentarily.<br />

Decrease the trim angle on high speed<br />
turns to reduce the possibility of prope !Iler<br />
ventilation.<br />
Improper motor trim angle can result in<br />
an unstable steering condition. The<br />
power trim/tilt warning system will be<br />
activated and an intermittent buzzer<br />
sounds when the motor is trimmed<br />
excessively (refer to page 65).
