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

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.

Great response: try it

If you have no idea, you don't have to respond, Harry. I know how power
trim works with a V-hull. I had no compulsion to respond in reference
to a pontoon, why did you?
