switch as the starboard engine. See
“Battery Wiring With Select Switches” on page 8–34
for a
battery wiring diagram.
An outboard engine should be connected to each battery select switch. Either engine may be
started with either battery bank by selecting position “1” or position “2” on the select
switches. In normal use select position “1” on the starboard switch and position “2” on the
port switch so that both battery banks will charge simultaneously with the engines running.
Stereo
The stereo is a marine AM/FM receiver with an integrated iPod®/iPhone dock and a
Bluetooth® adapter. A Sirius satellite radio tuner and antenna may be installed in lieu of the
Bluetooth® adapter upon request. It is located inside the cabin with speakers in the forward
cabin area, the hardtop and the cockpit. There is an amplifier that operates two of the speakers
and is located behind the stereo. The unit can be remotely operated with the touch pad
mounted at the helm station. Refer to the stereo’s Operation and Maintenance manual in your
Owner’s Packet for specific instructions on using this unit. See
for a diagram.
Trim Tabs
Trim tabs are electrically and hydraulically operated. The trim tab system includes a hydraulic
pump, a switch with an integrated indicator, and an auto-retract feature. The switch controls
the pump which lowers and raises the trim tabs. The indicator keeps you constantly aware of
the trim tab’s position. The auto-retract feature automatically raises the tabs every time the
ignition switch is turned off.
Trim tabs are used to regulate the attitude of the boat while moving and will aid in trimming
the boat fore and aft for a smoother ride. Trim tabs can improve the ride of your boat by
adjusting where the water is hitting the keel line. In a slight chop, the waves may be hitting the
keel of your boat around the helm area causing an uncomfortable ride. By adjusting the trim
tabs and lowering the bow, the waves will hit the keel at a more forward point and soften the
ride. Experimenting with trim tabs in various sea conditions will help you determine the best
positions for your boat under different load conditions.
C A U T I O N
Never turn the battery select switch to the “off” position with an engine (including generators)
running as this could damage the engine charging system or the control panel.
