11. When the boat is on plane a bow up attitude results in less drag greater stability and effi ciency This is generally when the keel line of the boat is up about 3 to 5 degrees With the bow up the boat may have a greater tenden cy to steer to one side or the other Compen sate for this as you steer When the bow of the boat is down it is easier to accelerate from a standing start onto plane Bow Up Too much trim out puts the bow of the boat too high in the water Performance and econ omy are decreased because the hull of the boat is pushing the water and there is more air drag Excessive trim out can also cause the propeller to ventilate which reduces per formance further and the boat may por poise hop in the water which could throw the operator and passengers overboard Operation Bow Down Too much trim in causes the boat to plow through the water decreasing fuel economy and making it hard to increase speed Oper ating with excessive trim in at higher speeds also makes the boat unstable Resistance at the bow is greatly increased heightening the danger of bow steering and making opera tion difficult and dangerous TIP Depending on the type of boat the outboard motor trim angle may have little effect on the trim of the boat when operating Tilting up and down lf the engine will be stopped for some time or if the boat is moored in shallows the out board motor should be tilted up to
