Re: Tilt & Trim on the Hose?
Concure, the TT doesn't care if it is in the water or not, the important thing is that you have water to the engine, that the engine is actually getting that water and don't rev the engine above 1500 rpm.
If you have neighboars close and want to keep the noise down I have put an old wash cloth over the prop exhaust with a rubber band, sort of knocks the edge off the open exhaust and somewhat simulates back pressure you would have in the water.
But you can run the TT all you want anytime.
