Vessel Operation

5-19

of the water hitting the lower gear case, the propeller thrust is directed

by turning the stern drive, which can add to the steering torque.

The prop tends to throw the stern to port.

This is why experienced skippers undertake

a portside landing when wind and current

conditions permit. They allow the prop to

move the stern to port toward the dock.

With a forward motion when the helm

wheel is turned hard to one side, the vessel

pivots around a point about 1/3 its length

abaft to stern. See illustration.

Stern drive boats have the ability to angle in or out their drive unit in

relationship to the transom. This is accomplished by hydraulic shocks

located on the stern drive along with an electrical sender unit that

reads the drive angle and sends information to the dash trim gauge

showing a reading.

Purpose Of Power Trim

The purpose of the power trim/tilt is to enable the operator to change

the angle of the drive while at the helm. Changing the angle of the

drive or “trimming” provides the following beneﬁ ts:

l. Improves acceleration onto a plane.

2. Maintains boat on plane at reduced throttle settings.

3. Increases fuel economy.

4. Provides smoother ride in choppy water.

5. Increases top speed.
