Trim Limit Switch - Estblishes the mximum trim OUT limit in both the MANUAL nd AUTO mode. Prevents drive unit from moving out of the gimbl ring support flnges, which could cuse possible dmge to sterndrive if it were to occur t higher engine speeds.

SERVICE MANUAL NUMBER 11 Auto Mode Opertion AUTO TRIM II WARNING Drive unit will utomticlly lower from the rised position when the ignition switch is turned to the RUN position nd mode switch is plced in the AUTO mode. BE SURE THAT NO ONE IS IN THE AREA OF THE DRIVE UNIT. With mode switch in the AUTO mode, the drive unit will move utomticlly to properly trim bot while underwy. This llows bot opertor to keep both hnds on the steering wheel nd to direct opertor s full ttention to drive the bot. At engine speeds below 3100 RPM, the drive unit will remin in the full IN position. This will force the bow of the bot down nd help it get up on plne quickly. Once engine reches 3100 RPM nd fter 5-6 second dely (to ensure tht bot is up on plne), the drive unit will utomticlly trim OUT to preset position for mximum bot speed nd efficiency. Trim OUT position cn be djusted to fine tune the trim ngle for ech individul bot. Upon decelertion, the drive unit will trim IN when engine reches 2600 RPM. Most bots will still be up on plne t this point. After drive reches full IN position, the trim pump motor will continue to run for pproximtely 5 seconds. NOTE: The AUTO mode lso cn be used to lower the drive unit from the fully rised (trilering) position. By plcing ignition switch in RUN position nd mode switch in AUTO mode, the drive unit will utomticlly lower to the full IN position. Be sure tht no one is in the re of the drive unit. 3 to 5 Bot Running Above Plning Speed Bot Running Below Plning Speed 90-17431--4 MARCH 1998 Pge 5D-3

Auto Trim Limit Adjustment In most cses, best ll-round performnce is obtined with drive unit djusted so tht front of hull will be slightly out of wter when bot is on plne. 3 to 5 Bot Properly Trimmed Adjusting the drive unit OUT from this position will tend to rise the bow of the bot, thus further reducing the wetted surfce of the hull nd, in some cses, incresing bot speed. However, if trimmed out excessively, bouncing, porpoising, propeller ventiltion nd possible difficult steering control could result. Bow Too High - Move Drive Unit IN Adjusting the drive unit IN from norml position will force the bow of the bot down, thus incresing the wetted surfce of the hull nd, in some cses, improving bot ride in rough wter (t prtil throttle). However, this will reduce bot speed. Bow Too Low - Move Drive Unit OUT Pge 5D-6 90-17431--4 MARCH 1998
