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

platform, not a rocket sled.

I would think a power trim on the engine would be great for a pontoon boat,
where the ability to raise and lower the bow may be necessary to offset loading
imbalances.
