    Trim is jerky when triming down at idle.

    I have a 225 HO E-Tec and when I trim it down it is very jerky and shakes the boat at idle. Any Ideas?

    As a side note this motor is fantastic!!! I am still playing with the set-up to maximize performance. I also use the XD100 and am glad I made that decision.

    trim the motor down to at least the tabs before putting it in gear, then it cant shake, mine does the same thing, just bounces a little, doesnt hurt nuttin.
