Exterior Equipment

Underwater Lights & Trim Tab Interceptor

Trim Tabs

The trim tab interceptors are mounted to the hull 

below the transom.  The trim tabs are an impor-

tant part of the control systems. Refer to the Helm 

Control Systems chapter for detailed information 

on the operation of the trim tabs.

Underwater Lights

The LED underwater lights are mounted in the tran-

som, below the water line.  The lights are activated 

by the Underwater Light switches at the helm and 

should only be used when the boat is in the water 

with the lights submerged.

Docking Lights (Optional)

Located on each side of the bow. These lights pro-

vide lighting forward of the bow while docking or 

maneuvering in tight quarters at night.  They are 

activated by the DOCKING LIGHTS switches in the 

helm switch panels and should only be used during 

docking, mooring or anchoring situations.  Never 

use docking lights while cruising.  They are not legal 

for night navigation and may obstruct the visibility 

of the bow navigation lights to oncoming vessels.  

Heavy Duty Bow Eye 

The heavy duty bow eye is designed for towing the 

boat.  The eye includes a welded stainless steel 

plate with internal bow reinforcement and backing 

plates that distribute the force on the bow eye 

to a larger area of the hull than with a standard 

bow eye. This feature allows the boat to be towed 

behind a larger vessel.  

DANGER

TOWING A BOAT BEHIND A LARGER VESSEL REQUIRES 

SPECIAL KNOWLEDGE AND SKILL.  THE USE OF TOW LINES 

OR HARDWARE NOT INTENDED FOR TOWING OR RATED 

FOR THE FORCES EXERTED ON EQUIPMENT DURING THE 

TOW IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND CAN CAUSE SEVERE 

INJURY OR DEATH TO PASSENGERS IF THAT EQUIPMENT 

FAILS.  NEVER TOW THE BOAT BEHIND A LARGER VESSEL 

USING A TOW LINE, HARNESS OR OTHER EQUIPMENT NOT 

RATED FOR THE EXPECTED LOADS EXPERIENCED DURING 

THE TOW.  IF YOU ARE NOT EXPERIENCED IN TOWING A 

VESSEL, CONSULT WITH AN OPERATOR AND A MARINE 

FACILITY EXPERIENCED  IN TOWING VESSELS FOR HELP 

SELECTING  PROPER EQUIPMENT AND FOR TRAINING.  

CAUTION

BOATS THAT ARE TOWED BEHIND LARGER VESSELS 

REQUIRE SPECIAL MAINTENANCE.  ATTENTION TO 

THE ALUMINUM AND STAINLESS STEEL HARDWARE IS 

ESSENTIAL.  SALT SPRAY, SALTY STEAM AND CHEMICALS 

IN EXHAUST GASES ARE PARTICULARLY CORROSIVE AND 

WILL DAMAGE THE SURFACE OF STAINLESS HARDWARE 

OR ANODIZED AND POWDER COATED ALUMINUM.  IT 

IS IMPERATIVE THAT THE BOAT AND HARDWARE ARE 

CLEANED THOROUGHLY AT THE COMPLETION OF EACH 

TRIP OR AT THE END OF EACH DAY ON LONG CRUISES TO 

REDUCE ACCELERATED DETERIORATION AND PREMATURE 

CORROSION TO ALUMINUM, STAINLESS STEEL AND OTHER 

COMPONENTS ON THE BOAT.
