Trim on '74 Sea King 55hp

[mrshighsmith]

We bought a '74 Sea King 55HP engine on a 14' Sea King Fiberglass boat. The engine runs fine (from what we can tell) however, we know that these boats did not have an electronic trim for the engine. Anybody know where the trim in located for this engine/ boat? We know it'll be a hand adjusted trim however we have never had to deal with this type of trim before.

Welcome,
there should be three or four holes on both sides of the transom clamp, a spring loaded pin is usally used to select the hole you want.
Trim should be set so the boat planes easy and steers without to much torque, the higher up you go the harder she will steer
