CHAPTER 4: CONTROLS 17
Trim Tabs
•
The trim tabs may be used to help keep your boat level at cruising speeds.
•
The trim tabs are controlled by two rocker switches at the helm.
•
Before using the trim tabs read and understand the trim tab operation manual included in your boat’s owner’s
packet.
Observe the following:
•
Once cruising speed is reached, the port or starboard trim switch may be used (one at a time) to level the boat.
•
Perform trim tab adjustment with several short touches to the switch rather than one long one.
•
After each short touch allow several seconds for the hull to react.
•
The trim tab hydraulic fluid reservoir is located in the engine compartment. The fluid level must be checked peri-
odically (at least once a year) and refilled as necessary.
LOSS OF CONTROL HAZARD!
Improper use of trim tabs will cause loss of control!
•
DO NOT allow anyone unfamiliar with trim tabs to use them.
•
DO NOT use trim tabs in a following sea as they will cause broaching or other unsafe
handling characteristics.
•
DO NOT use trim tabs to compensate for excessive unequal weight distribution.
