Steering Trim Tab
Fig. 2.17.1
When using the canvas sun-top with the console
mounted anchor light be sure to slide the light through
the opening in the top of the sun-top. Be sure to
remove the light pole from the base before stowing
the canvas Sun-top.
When not being used, the console mounted anchor
light can be stowed in clips located on the starboard
aft cockpit area (See figure 2.8.1).
When using the optional SUN-TOP, make certain
that all securing straps are taut. Damage to the
navigation light can happen if the canvas frame
straps are loose or not secured properly.
NOTICE
Navigation Lighting
Your boat comes equipped with navigation lighting
for your safety. Regulations state that all boats must
display navigation lights between sunset and sunrise
and during periods of restricted visibility, such as rain,
fog, haze, etc. If operating in reduced visibility or
between sunset and sunrise it is necessary to maintain
a safe speed and post a lookout.
It is the responsibility of the operator to ensure that
the navigation lights are in good working order and
that the proper lighting is shown and not obstructed
in its intended arc of visibility. This vessel’s navigation
lights may include an expiration date on the housing.
If one is located, replace light before expiration date,
even if light is functional, as lighting quality may be
compromised.
Do not add lights that interfere with required
navigation lights. Some lights, such as blue colored
lights, may be illegal to display on a boat. It is the
owner’s responsibility to ensure that displayed lights
are also compliant with local regulations.
If adjustment is necessary,
• Loosen the bolt on the underside center of
the tab.
NOTE: Make small adjustments at a time.
• If boat turns more easily to the right, move
the trailing edge of the trim tab to the right.
• If boat turns more easily to the left, move
the trailing edge of the trim tab to the left.
• Tighten bolt and retest.
The improper sequence of navigation lighting
may be as dangerous as no lighting at all.
