[QUOTE="surfman, post: 379595, member: 7404"] You want to trim the motor for best performance and ride and it takes a little trial and error. Usually the trim pin is at least one up from the bottom. I would start there and raise it until you feel comfortable and the boat seems to perform the best. It will ride better with the nose slightly up and go faster too. But you don’t want the bow (front) up so high you can’t see over it, right. Trimming it down (pin too low prop too close to boat) will cause the boat to plow and make it hard to steer and can be dangerous. Weight distribution s also critical in a small jon, it is not always easy to move stuff around but try to balance the weight as well. [/QUOTE]
