    Simple trim question

    Skeeter with hpdi. If I keep trimming up while on plane will my motor eventually start to tilt? Or is there a safety that stops at max trim? This is my first boat and I don't think I've fully trimmed out yet, but I want to know what happens when I get there.

    It wont tilt but it is possible to over trim and when you do the boat may lift the nose but the speed will drop. The sweet spot is normally just before the full trim.

    Re: Simple trim question (cslade)

    If by chance you are in 'tilt' and you get the rpm's high enough, it should default (for lack of better term) back into 'trim' ...... most people experience this when power loading onto the trailer ...... they pulled the motor up into tilt, didn't back down the ramp far enough, got heavy into the throttle to get the boat up the trailer, look back and the motor is back down in the upper part of the trim cycle.
