Instrumentation Trim Instruments The trim instrument indicates the current trim position. Your boat may be equipped with an analog or a digital trim instrument. The SX drive has an analog trim in- strument only. The DP-S drive may have either an an- alog or a digital trim instrument. Analog Trim Instrument The analog trim instrument has three main ranges: 22781 Trim Range –Use trim range for maximum com- fort, under normal operation, from start to maxi- mum speed. Beach Range –Use beach range for operating at reduced speed in shallow water, where water depth is uncertain. Also use this range when you launch and take your boat out of water onto a trailer ramp.
Lift Range –Use lift range for lifting the drive to its maximum angle; however, this range cannot be used during boat operation. Use this range ONLY when you are transporting your boat. 7743722 - Downloaded from www.volvopenta.com 13/05/2008 20:17:06 22782 CAUTION!
