Trim Tabs
NOTICE
It is recommended that you check the level of the fluid
in the reservoir before using your boat.
Your 240 Outrage is fitted with elec-
trically powered trim tabs.
The trim tabs are located on the lower
section of your transom and are used
to trim the list of your boat caused by
uneven weight distribution, too many persons on one
side of the boat, or strong cross winds. An untrimmed
boat will: decrease the visibility the pilot has, reduce
fuel economy, increase wear on your engine(s). While
accelerating there is some loss of forward visibility
before the boat is on plane, the trim tabs can be used
to adjust for forward visibility while underway.
Read all information supplied by the trim tab manu-
facturer for its use and care.
OPERATION:
The trim tabs are controlled by rocker switches lo-
cated on the center part of your console above the
throttle control. Short momentary bursts of the rock-
ers will achieve proper attitude of the hull. The trim
tab switch is marked bow up and bow down.
Using the trim tabs will:
Level the boat; fore and aft.
Reduce resistance in the steering system.
Give you a smoother more stable ride.
Speed will increase and there will be less strain
on the engines.
MAINTENANCE:
The trim tabs are a completely sealed unit and are
waterproof and maintenance free. Aside from a gen-
eral cleaning when the boat is out of the water you
should also inspect the planes and hinges for marine
growth; remove as neccessary.
