If you're looking buy a Quintrex boat, learning to drive it can be something of a challenge. Mastering the steering and throttle is fairly easy - they function pretty much the same as they do in a car. The trouble comes with getting your head around trimming, as there's no similar concept involved in driving a car.
Don't trim too far, however - too much and the engine will start to suck in air. Watch the tell-tale stream to make sure water's still coming out or listen for the engine note suddenly becoming much higher in pitch - if it does, that can be a sign air is being sucked in. When you test drive a boat, this can be a good chance to get a handle on how you need to trim for the best performance.
How do you trim your outboard motor and why is it so important?
I am just wondering why it won't trim.
Filled up the reservoir and now it's working fine.
We are wondering if the trim cylinders were low on oil or got water in the lines.
So how do you decide which of the 5 tilt positions is best for your boat? And once the best one is identified, is there any use for the other 4?
If your engine is mounted on a more or less vertical transom or bracket, you will probably find that the 2nd or 3rd tilt holes work best for most applications. Tilting in one position from the "best" one can help a heavily loaded boat to get on plane, and can yield a more comfortable ride in chop (though it can also be a more wet ride). Tilting out one position can provide a smoother, safer ride downwind in heavy waves, and can make for a more dry ride, as the hull will break through the water further aft.
The second question is the easiest to answer: Yes, there are uses. The wrong tilt position can be loads of fun.
