There is a 50 AMP circuit breaker in the battery select box located on the starboard side of the
aft cockpit. This is the main breaker protecting the wiring supplying power to the helm switch
panel. If this breaker is tripped, rotate the yellow handle to the “on” position.

Ball valve seacocks are installed on the thru hulls for the livewell, washdown, and some head
features. It is necessary for the seacocks to be in the “open” position for operation. The “open”
position is identified by the orientation of the handle. If the handle is in line or parallel to the body
of the valve, the seacock is in the “open” position. If the handle is perpendicular to the body of the
valve, the seacock is in the “closed” position. For seacocks with remote arms installed, the “open”
position can be obtained by pulling up on the remote arm attached to the seacock handles. Pushing
down on the remote arm closes the seacock.

Trim tabs are electrically and hydraulically operated. The trim tab system consists of 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 allows monitoring of the
trim tab’s position. The auto-retract feature causes the pump to raise the tabs every time the
ignition switch is turned off.
Trim tabs are used to regulate the attitude of the boat while moving. They are operated by a
two-rocker switch panel 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
All seacocks should be in the “closed” position if not in use or if the boat is unattended to prevent
the taking on of water if a plumbing component fails.
