achieve plane. Use the tabs at planing speeds to make minor adjustments
in the fore-to-aft and beam-to-beam angle of the boat.
To use the trim tabs:
1. Turn the “house” battery master disconnect switch to the “ON”
position.
2. On the Bridge Breaker Panel, switch the Main circuit breaker “ON,”
then switch the Trim Tabs circuit breaker “ON.”
3. A set of trim tabs controls are located at the helm. The controls
consist of two switches. The port switch controls the port tab; the
starboard switch controls the starboard tab. Each switch is labeled
“BOW UP” and “BOW DOWN.” Before advancing the throttles, press
both switches on the “BOW UP” side for 5 seconds. This lifts the trim
tabs to the full “up” position.
4. Advance the throttles to bring the boat on plane. Adjust the engine
RPMs for cruising speed.
Do not overtrim your boat. When adjusting the trim tabs, press their
control switches for only one-half second at a time, then allow the boat to
respond. Continue to adjust the trim tabs in this manner until the boat is
at the desired trim angle. Over-trimming can cause the bow to veer and
may lead to loss of control. Always reset the trim tabs to the "BOW UP"
position before advancing throttles to achieve plane. Accelerating the
boat to planing speed while the trim tabs are lowered can cause a loss of
control.
When the seas are at any angle to the boat’s stern, put the trim tabs in
the full “BOW UP” position. Do not change the trim tabs’ position until
the seas are no longer at the stern.
5. Use the trim tabs individually to make beam-to-beam adjustments. If
the majority of your passengers are sitting on the port side, you may
find that the starboard side of your boat is riding higher than the
port side. Use the “BOW DOWN” side of the starboard trim tab
switch to adjust the trim.
If your passengers decide to shift to the other side of the boat, level
the boat by pressing the “BOW UP” side of the starboard trim tab
switch for a few seconds. This undoes your previous adjustment.
