the best possible fuel efficiency.

Electrolytic Corrosion & Zinc Anodes
Electrolytic corrosion of metals on power boats can
result in serious deterioration. You should be aware
of the possibility of electrolysis and/or galvanic
action (the deterioration of metals due to dissimilar
characteristics when placed in salt water).
Zinc buttons (anodes) are installed on the trim tabs
to protect underwater hardware. Zinc, being less
noble than copper based alloys and aluminum used in
underwater fittings, will deteriorate first and protect
the less noble metals.
The zinc anodes generally need replacement once
a year in freshwater, every 6 months in a salt water
environment.
The need to replace anodes more frequently may
indicate a stray current problem within your boat or
at the slip or mooring. If your anodes do not need
replacement after one year, loose anodes or low-grade
zinc may be the problem.
Maintenance
The trim tabs are a completely sealed unit and are
waterproof and maintenance free.
Aside from a general cleaning when the boat is out
of the water you should also inspect the planes and
hinges for marine growth and remove as necessary.

also avoids issues with the engine trimming up too
early or too late when the boat is getting on plane.
Active Trim has five selectable trim profiles that
accommodate nearly any boat application. These
profiles allow operators to compensate for changes
in boat load, operator preference and weather
conditions, while maintaining full auto operation.
