Trim arrangement for outboard motor

An outboard motor comprised of a clamp bracket adapted to be affixed to a transom of an associated watercraft, a swivel bracket connected to said clamp bracket for pivotal movement about a trim axis, said swivel bracket carrying a propulsion device for propelling the associated watercraft, a hydraulic cylinder interposed between said clamp bracket and said swivel bracket for controlling the pivotal movement of said swivel bracket about said trim axis, said hydraulic cylinder having a first portion having a first pivotal connection to said swivel bracket and a second portion having a pivotal connection to a lower part of said clamp bracket, said clamp bracket being formed with a series of apertures for receiving a trim pin operably engaged with said swivel bracket for adjusting the trim of said propulsion device, said apertures being arranged vertically along an upwardly inclined line and spaced rearwardly from the transom from a line passing through said first and said second pivotal connections of said hydraulic cylinder, all but the lowermost of said apertures being positioned forwardly of an arc drawn about said trim axis and of a radius passing through said lowermost of said apertures, said apertures being disposed so that a trim pin received therein will engage a different portion of a continuous surface of said swivel bracket depending upon which apertures the trim pin is positioned in.
