The lounge seat option includes a sliding seat bottom. This allows for the seat to be adjusted to
supply more seating area for passengers when extended or maximize cockpit space when
retracted. The switch for this seat is located in the port deckwing insert.

TEREO
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 in the port deck wing with one speaker near it,
another starboard, two in the bow and two in the cockpit. There is an amplifier that operates the
two speakers in the cockpit and is located behind the stereo. The unit can be remotely operated
with two touch pads mounted at the helm station and at the shelf under the gunwale on the port
side of the cockpit. Refer to the stereo’s operation and maintenance manual in your owner’s
packet for specific instructions on using this unit. See
“Stereo System Layout” on page 8–26
for a
drawing showing the stereo system.

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. 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.

To prevent damage to the deck floor, do not activate the sliding seat bottom while a passenger is on
the seat.
