You really should be able to adjust your trim while moving.
I found it very helpful even with a 5hp on a 12' boat.

Been my limited experience with 5 horse motors that you get a choice

adjust it underway, but that is not necessary to pick the best of five
by trial and error.

I don't think I've ever seen a small outboard like that with hydraulic trim.
