@@stevetucker8169there are two sets of u-joints just in front of the outdrive that allows it to pivot up and down. Running the outdrive in the range of full down and up to the indicated max up on your trim gauge is fine. Raising the outdrive higher than that is only meant for trailering, not with the engine running. The high trim angle put a lot of stress on the u-joints as you can hear in the video. At worst they can fail. You are at least reducing their service life and will have to replace them sooner than necessary.
