To adjust boat trim while underway:
1. Before accelerating, make sure both trim
tabs are fully raised.
2. Adjust the trim tabs to achieve a planing
attitude.
3. Readjust the trim tabs to fine tune attitude.
Operate only one tab at a time and in small
increments. As the tab takes effect, you will
notice it causes the boat to veer off course
slightly. Correct for this as it happens.
4. To prevent the boat from listing, do not have
one tab further down than the other tab.
Improper use of the trim tabs at high
speeds can cause an accident or injury.

The windlass can be operated at the driver’s

can also be operated manually. A manual hand
crank is located in the anchor locker.
1. Chain Stop
2. Lock Pin
The chain stop
(Figure 7-8, 1)
is used to
immobilize the anchor in the stowed position and
a lock pin
(Figure 7-8, 2)
secures the chain stop.
The lock pin must be installed at all times when
the windlass is not in use. Refer to the operator’s
manual supplied with the windlass system for
proper operation of the windlass in the electric

anchored by the stern, underwater and
keep it there.
