ABSTRACT:
An auxiliary trim mechanism adapted to be disposed upon the transom of a boat for trimming an adjacent outboard motor. The mechanism comprises a rigid, flat base for attachment to the boat transom, a lever for actuating the mechanism, a foot for contacting and tilting the motor, and adjustable linkage dynamically linking the handle and the foot. The lever comprises an elongated handle adapted to be manipulated by a user for activating the mechanism, a switch manipulated ratchet for yieldably locking the mechanism in various deflected or undeflected positions and an extension deflected by the handle. The foot comprises an arm, a generally rectangular surface comprising a plurality of separate, spaced-apart, user selectable orifices and a pin adapted to be user-secured to one of the orifices for contacting and deflecting the motor. The pin can be selectively mounted upon predefined orifices within the foot such that motor deflection may be varied without changing the resultant mechanical advantage, or the mechanical advantage established by the mechanism may be changed without varying the distance between the pin and the motor.
