I just posted 2 screenshots that have to be approved outlining the procedure to adjust the trim up and down limits. I’ll try one at a time and see what happens. If no screenshots appear I can email you the procedure.

Thanks for the info. I was able to use the hydraulic emergency release screw on the port side of transom mount to get the trim to go all the way down flush with transom mount. It was only about 20 degrees more to get a slightly negative prop thrust. That let's me throttle up and plane off now.

But now i have it on my marina lift system and can't reach around to fiddle with the mechanical cam since I have to hike out over the transom precarously over the water to work on it. Guess Iwill need to go retrailer at the public ramp and look closer on what's involved with the trim limit mechanism.

It tilts up fine to full up range but the trim down needs a little bit more range of motion for throttle trim switches to get proper perfect down trim (10-15 degrees more only). It looks from manual to me that the limit cam is only for the full up stop not for the down trim stop - unless reducing trim up range gives more trim down range of motion by limiting the trim up motion. .

I am wondering if there's another separate limit switch somewhere just for the down trim? I don't see much of a procedure mentioned in the manual about adjusting that mechanical cam up limit switch. That is the only limit mechanism that I can see in that photo/drawing though.

Seems like it should be a super easy thing to adjust.

I’ve never had to adjust the tilt limit cam so I can’t give you any advice on the correct placement of the cam. I’d guess your issue is related to one of the two.

After trailering bost and putting a short 2x4 board under tilted up engine (to prevent bouncing on rams) I can't get the motor all the way down to neural position or lower. That gives me a hull up position that over revs to motor unable to plane off.

Apparently I have my trim down limit and gauge out of sync with the hydraulic trim piston tilt down range of motion. The console tilt/down trim shows negative when the motor is actually tilted up above neutral.

Must have knocked something out of sync with the 2x4 board I used when trailering. Anyone know a quick way to reset the limit switch range of motion so I can get the boat planed off without the bow up high and overcrowding the engine?
