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.

Tim,
Might sound funny but when I take my 21' out. I set the throttle and then
trim until the motor reaches its highest RPM (RPM will drop if boat is bow
up or down) without touching the throttle and this gives me the best trim
possible. My experience/opinion anyway.
