Trim instruments The SX drive only has an analogue trim instrument. The DP-S drive can either have an analogue or digital trim instrument.
Analogue trim instrument (SX, DP-S) The trim instrument indicates the current trim position. It has a scale with five segments and three main ranges:
1. Trim range

The trim range is used to achieve maximum comfort under normal operation from start to maximum speed.
2. Beach range The beach range is used for operation at reduced speed (max. 1000 rpm) in shallow water where water depth is uncertain. This range is also used when launching and taking the boat out of the water onto a trailer ramp.
3. Lift range The lift range is used for lifting the drive to its maximum angle, however this cannot be used during operation. This range is used for transporting the boat and to minimize fouling of the drive. The Power Trim has an automatic stop which cuts off the current when the stop position is reached. The stop is automatically reset when trimming down.
Digital trim instrument (DP-S) Displays a figure within the range. This figure is the angle of the drive to perpendicular (stationary boat). The instrument has a built in control program which starts each time the instrumentation is switched on with the ignition key. When this control program is run, all LCD segments light and A- BEACH is displayed. The instrument then returns to displaying the current drive angle.
