How To Trim Your Boat Properly!

   Everyone should want to learn how to trim your boat properly. You see it all over the water. Bows plowing too low through and into the waves or bows pointing at the sky so everyone on board can look at the cloud formations! These are all signs that more people should learn how to trim your boat properly!


Remove any SUV's from bow before adjusting your Trim!




   Learning how to trim your boat properly actually begins with the weight distribution in your boat. Once the weight is evenly distributed, you can begin the process of trimming your boat. Remember that you can trim a boat two different ways. The first is to adjust the angle of the outboard or stern-drive to the proper setting for your load, speed, sea and weather conditions. The other is with your Trim Tabs if your boat is equipped with them.
   If you want to learn how to trim your boat properly, we found a great resource from ClubMarine.com.au entitled "Trim Your Boat" that explains everything in-depth along with helpful photos. It is a must read for anyone with even a little doubt about the proper way to Trim!
