Question Trailer trim on 33 Outlaw

One thing I noticed on the 33 is lack of trailer trim, which my 25 had. I've got the normal trim in throttle, plus 3 switches (P, S Both), which seem to do nothing.

I go to sandbars a lot and really can't get the drives up very high (just the normal full out operating position).

The lakes getting lower this time of year

Thanks ...

On my 36, I have a trailer switch just left of the two drive adjustment switches. You have to push all three at the same time. It brings it up a little higher than just the trim button by themselves.

I thought all boats had a trailer mode for the drives?

Good luck
Mark

Not to sound like a smart A$$. Did you push all three at the same time. That how I do mine. Now I'm wondering if only the b button needs to be pressed. I'll try it on Sat.

my switch is located just to the left of the P&S trim switches. instead of pressing all three, i usually press the trailer trim switch and hit the trim switch on the throttle.

Same set up as mine. No mention of trailer, only trim (the switches aren't labeled like yours). I've never tried all 3 at once, just the B. Nothing happens. I'll have to check to see how (if) they're wired. Sounds like there's a couple of different combinations to try.

Perhaps this is just me having never operated a twin screw boat...

But can you actually trim the port and starboard engines seperately? Even with a tiebar and hydraulic steering?

dloftis- yes, you can do it. most pleasure boaters do not, but in racing, it is common in turns.
