It's very hard to turn around check your trim with an outboard.

Why?

Don't know. Ask Donnie. I assumed that's why he bought a trim gauge.


Why wouldn't you just use speed and rpm on a little boat like that?
Can't you hear the engines and stuff?

I am going to go with Don here. It is handy while you are getting used
to your boat.


I'm not sure why Herring is getting into this in his usual snarky way,
since the boat he recently sold was only slightly larger than Don's, and
unless his third-rate dealer screwed him on that, too, that boat of his
had a trim gauge.

FOAD...you address me far too frequently for one who has me 'filtered'.

Yup, my boat came with a trim gauge as part of the digital instrument cluster. I set the trim for
best speed on plane with the throttle stationary. If I were in very shallow water, I actually turned
around and looked at the engine.
