13.11 FLAPS
General points
- The flaps (trim control system) allow the pilot to adjust the boat's trim under way and thus to reduce fuel consumption.
- The flaps run on DC power.
- A fuse protects the electrical circuit.
- They are operated by means of a push button situated on the wheelhouse and their position is adjustable.
- The flaps work only when the boat's engines are running.
- The flaps are controlled electrically.
- The actuator is mechanical.
- The flaps must be protected by an anode (see Chapter: E
).
Operation
- When the flaps are lifted, the boat's bow tends to rise from the water.
- When the flaps are lowered, the boat's bow tends to go down into the water.
Maintenance
- Clean the flaps regularly with clean water.
- When cleaning the hull, coat the flaps and piston with antifouling paint. Do not cover the section below the anode or the
anode itself with antifouling.
- Refer to the manufacturer's instructions for
use and maintenance.
- Adjust the flaps gradually to avoid abrupt
hull movements. At high speeds, take care when
adjusting the flaps.
- Lift the flaps completely in case of swell from
abaft of the boat.
