I will be interested to see if the trim limiter adjustment makes a difference to your experience. I am scratching my head as to why such a feature would be implemented - doesn't everybody trim out for maximum speed, if conditions allow? My single-ram F70 allows you to trim at any speed, so it's not just some issue with the single-ram design. I wonder if there was some liability issue that influenced the design.
Re-reading this thread and my question, this is starting to make more sense to me. I'd been thinking that over the limit RPM, the motor could not be trimmed at all - but a more sensible approach would be to limit the trim angle once RPMs are over a certain value. Maybe that's the way Mercury implemented it - in which case, adjusting the "high speed trim angle limit" should resolve the issue.
