Anyone who has trim wants to use it based on conditions. There are other factors that will impact how your pontoon will ride and the effect on the trim. A 25ft pontoon with a 50hp motor will not see much impact from playing with trim compared to a 150 hp motor on the same pontoon. How your weight is distributed on your pontoon will have a dramatic effect on the trim no matter how it is set. I found an even distribution of passengers before heading out and then setting the trim while underway worked best.
