Turning the ATC on.
Once you’ve set the Zero Point you can now press the
ON/OFF button for 2-3 seconds to turn your ATC on. It will now take control of
your trim tabs.
ATC Memory.
Once the Zero Point is set, the ATC will retain this attitude in
memory permanently, or until it is reset. As long as the tabs are of correct size
and the speed adequate, the ATC will recreate the programmed attitude regard-
less of changes in speed, weight distribution, sea conditions, and other variables
that affect the boat’s attitude. If you want to reset the Zero Point, just follow the
same procedure as above.
Adjusting LED Intensity. You can adjust the brightness of the ATC LEDs using
the Sun and Moon buttons for different times of day or night. These buttons are
also used for setting the Zero Point.
Optimal Running Attitude.
A good way to reveal your boat’s
optimum attitude is to conduct a test by running lightly loaded at
full speed in flat water. (This should be done in an open, no traffic
area.) You will confirm your boat’s ideal attitude by observing the
bow in relation to the horizon, reduced bow spray, and diminished
wake.
HELPFUL HINT:
Most boats “break over” (get on plane) at a
particular speed. This speed is determined by weight distribution,
water conditions, etc. Every boat has one particular attitude where
it runs most efficiently. When you reach the best running attitude
for your boat, enter it as the Zero Point.
