Rough Water
When running in chop or heavy seas, press both
switches forward to lower the bow elevation. This will
bring the “V” of the hull in more contact with the waves
and reduce the pounding effect.
Trim Tabs and Engines
Adjusting the trim tabs in conjunction with the trim
function of the outboard engines will give you
increased power, speed, and maneuverability. When
the boat comes on plane adjust the trim tabs to
achieve the desired running attitude of the boat. Then
trim the outboard engines up using the trim function on
the engine binnacle control until the engine propeller is
parallel with the surface of the water. If necessary,
readjust the trim tabs to fine tune the running attitude
of the boat.
Trim Tab Control Box
The trim tab control box, located inside the console,
operates on 12 VDC supplied from the starboard
engine key switch.
There is a 20-amp fuse for the trim tab system control
box in the accessory fuse block. The accessory fuse
block is also located inside the console.
!
WARNING
Do not over-trim, particularly at high speeds, as
the bow will dig in and wave action might cause
the boat to veer. While underway, do not move
one trim tab significantly farther down than the
other, as undesirable listing will occur.
