Trimming

[Vlads Quiff]

Hello All
My 3.1 Fastroller has an Evinrude 8hp two stroke fitted.

Do you think I need to bother too much with the trim adjustments.

regards VQ

Re: Trimming

I have a Futura Mark IIC with a 15 hp 4 stroke. I experimented with trim settings this weekend, and while it made a small difference, it seemed that in my situation weight distribution in the boat made a MUCH bigger difference. I couldn't get it to plane on any trim setting until I finally loaded some weight in the bow.

Then it was off to the races! Fun, fun, fun!

Right now I have it set in the center position, which keeps the motor nearly perpendicular to the water surface.
