22” pin to pin is what merc says to set trim limit at.

You should be okay for max trim but are you thinking you need max tilt as in being to run it at the trailer position, FULL up?

I’ve always heard that in a high ‘tilt’ position, it’s not ideal. If you have to tilt up high, avoid revving above idle and avoid turning. Doesn’t leave a lot of scope but turning or applying power will make a mess of things quickly. You can get away with ‘straight idle’.

At some point your u Joints are going to be at max angle. You need to find that spot and not go any further tilted up. Past that point with the engine running is very stressful on the yoke, joint and the bearings. Any breakage in that area, gets VERY EXPENSIVE. TMMI's comment on 22" is good advice I've never know before now, so thanks for that. My boat does not have any trim limit, so I keep it at or below the recommended highest reading per the performance report that came with the boat.

You're asking about the maximum tilt or angle of a B1 aircraft when it's at idle, which typically refers to the angle of the aircraft's wings in relation to the horizon when the engines are at idle power. The specific maximum tilt at idle can vary depending on the type of aircraft, its design, and other factors. For accurate information, you'd need to refer to the aircraft's manual or specifications provided by the manufacturer. If you have a particular aircraft in mind, I can try to help you find that information.

I just installed a couple sets of genuine Mercury trim sender kits on a couple boats and the instructions said on a traditional Bravo One drive to set the limit at 21.75" pin to pin on the cylinders. So you guys are right there.
It was my understanding that when the XR/XZ/X drives came out and had larger U joints, this limit was more critical.
