This pontoon I just got has a v-4 evinrude with a power trim . Besides
using it to raise the lower end for transport, is a power trim really
of any effective use on a pontoon boat? especially of one of this size
and loaded down with people? *I mean it's gong to be a cruise
platform, not a rocket sled.


Using that trim, you might be able to achieve the all-important 88 mph
speed, which will push you and the DeLorean barge backwards to the future..

Answer...try the trim and see what happens, but with that small a motor
and that large a boat, I doubt it will have much impact.

It's an 85 horse. It will trim that pontoon boat out easily.
