Okay, guys, newbie here so forgive the naivete of the following question.

Picked up a 1979 9.9HP Johnson long shaft for my new (old) fishing boat (a late 60s Starcraft). It's a manual trim motor, and my question is this: can I change the trim setting while the boat is in motion? Seems a hard proposition given the pin/hole system used for the trim. If not, I assume you basically just choose the trim position you think fits your needs best and go from there? Any thoughts would be much appreciated!

Play with the different settings until you find the position for your needs. Boat load, number of people in boat and ect.
