Owner’s Manual Supplement
Trim Tabs
The trim tabs may be used to help keep your yacht
level at cruising speeds. Trim tabs are controlled by
two rocker switches, located at the helm station. Before
using the trim tabs, read the trim tab operation manual
included in your yacht’s owner’s packet and observe
the following:
•
Once the best bow cruising trim is reached, use the
port or starboard trim switches (one at a time) to
correct unequal lateral loading. Trim tab adjustment
should be performed by several short touches to the
switch rather than one long one. After each short
touch allow about five seconds for the hull to react.
•
The trim tab hydraulic fluid reservoir is located in
the engine compartment on the aft transom (see
illustration to the right). The fluid level should be
checked periodically (at least once a year) and
refilled as necessary.
Bilge Pumps
Your yacht is equipped with five automatic impeller-type bilge pumps which are used to pump water out of the bilge.
Bilge pumps are controlled by automatic bilge pump float switches (autofloat switches) and/or switches at the helm
and are wired directly to the battery so they will normally function even when the yacht is completely shut down
and left unattended.

LOSS OF CONTROL HAZARD!
•
Improper use of trim tabs will cause loss of control! Do not allow anyone unfamiliar with
trim tabs to operate them.
•
Do not use trim tabs in a sea running the same direction as the yacht (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.
