How to Get A Boat On Plane Using Engine Trim | BoatUS

Capt. Eric Sorensen shows you how to get a boat on plane using engine trim, or how to get your boat to ride on top of the water, which gives it stability, fuel-efficiency, and safety. Sometimes this is called trimming your boat. To clarify: Trim up/out=bring the prop away from the boat; trim down/in=bring the prop closer to the boat. We also discuss some common problems such as ventilation (pulling in air) and porpoising.
