Buoyancy and Trim
The Z100 housing utilizes trim weights on the bottom, sides and tops of the housing for
adjusting buoyancy and trim to your liking. The table below provides guidance for the
proper amount of weighting for different port / monitor configurations.
The weights can be moved forward/aft on the top and bottom accessory rails for trim.
Be sure to tighten the trim weight snugly so it will remain secure to the housing during
use. The trim weights can also be secured to the housing rear shell sides and footrail as
shown in the image page 18.
When adding lights, monitor or other accessory items the buoyancy / trim will change.
This requires removal and re-positioning of weights to keep system neutrally buoyant
and balanced.
