Trim Tabs
•
The trim tabs may be
used to help keep
your yacht level at
cruising speeds.
•
The trim tabs are
controlled by two
rocker switches at
the helm.
•
Before using the trim
tabs read and under-
stand the trim tab
operation manual.
Note the following:
•
Once cruising speed is reached, the port or starboard trim switch may be used (one at a time) to level the yacht.
•
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
periodically (at least once a year) and refilled as necessary.
