I come out of the water w/motor trimmed all the way down...this minimizes bow rise and keeps everything out front visible...most efficient way "Outta the Hole"...once up, you'll feel the steering wheel to be hard to turn...trim it out til the wheel turns easier, plus you will see the tach rise a notch or two and hear the motor do same as well...if you have a sharp turn to make, you may want to trim motor down to prevent "prop blowout"...this is when your prop loses its "bite" in the water because the boat's hull is up on one side of the V-shaped bottom, generally results in the motor revving up...had you trimmed down, this would not have occurred...
So trim down outta the hole and in tight turns and trim it out to cruise...if your bow starts bouncing and won't stop, trim down a little at the time till it does...THAT'S where you wanna be...top of motor should appear level to water surface...

TIP: If you come outta the hole each time trimmed full down like I do, once on plane, establish a COUNT...for instance my Honda got to the right trim on count of 3 holding the trim button up....The Merc I have now is a touch slower and gets to the correct trim on COUNT of 4...could be difference between 20" motor(Honda) and 25" motor(Merc)...takes longer lower unit more time swing out...or just a slower trim...
