Trim Tab Maintenance
Marine growth can interfere with the proper operation of the
trim tab planes and actuators. To reduce problems due to
marine growth, always return the trim tabs to the full “UP”
position after operating the boat and periodically inspect and
clean marine growth from the actuators and planes.
The trim tab fluid should be checked often. Keep the fluid level
between the marks on the trim tab pump reservoir.
If your boat will be left in saltwater for extended periods, it
will be necessary to install zinc anodes on the trim tab planes
to prevent galvanic corrosion. Galvanic corrosion is the cor-
rosion process occurring when different metals are submerged
in an electrolyte. Sea water is an electrolyte and submerged
metal components must be properly protected. The anodes
will need to be monitored and changed when they are 75% of
their original size.
Refer to the trim tab owner’s manual for additional maintenance
information, fluid specifications and operating instructions.
