size (25% depleted). Refer to the Routine Main-
tenance chapter of this manual for information on
maintaining sacrificial anodes.
To discourage any marine growth on the tabs or
actuators, antifouling paint can be applied. When
applying paint to the actuator, make sure it is fully
retracted. Do not paint the stainless ram above
the area that is exposed when fully retracted. The
bottom paint will damage the O-ring seals when
the ram is retracted and allow seawater to enter
the actuator motor. When painting the trim tabs,
do not apply paint to the sacrificial anodes or the
mounting surface under the anode. The sacrificial
anode must have full metal to metal contact with
the trim tab plane or it will become ineffective.
Contact your dealer or the trim tab manufacturer
for information regarding the correct bottom paint
for the trim tabs.
Refer to the trim tab owner’s manual for additional
maintenance information, specifications, trouble -
shooting and operating instructions.
Jack Plate Maintenance
Inspect electrical cables for damage and coat con-
nection terminals with dielectric grease to prevent
corrosion as required. Grease the Jack Plate at
the grease fittings once or twice every 6 months.
Inspect the Jack plate for damage, cracks, wear
and binding. Inspect the Jack plate brackets, guide
rods, guide rod seals, actuator shaft and actuator
shaft seal. Check for leaking components.
The hydraulic fluid level should be checked pe -
riodically. The fluid level should be checked with
the Jack Plate in the full down position and you
be careful not to overfill the reservoir.
Jack Plates have specific maintenance require -
ments. You should refer to the Jack Plate owner’s
manual for maintenance information, specifica -
tions and operating instructions for the Jack Plate
installed on your boat.
Notice:
Jack Plate engine and transom mounting bolt
torque should be checked once each season
or every 100 hours.
