Trim tabs are also useful in correcting a port or starboard running list. If the boat is listing to the
port side, press the starboard trim tab switch toward “bow down”. Press the port trim tab switch
toward “bow down” to correct a starboard list. This will tend to lower the bow by pulling the higher
side to a level position. If your bow is already in a low position and your tabs are down, you may
correct a listing condition by pressing the trim tab switch toward “bow up”. This will cause the low
side to rise and level the boat. The running angle will also gradually improve.
Trim tabs in the extreme “bow up” positions will have no effect on the boat’s ride. Trim tabs in
the extreme “bow down” position will cause the boat to come on plane with minimum bow rise.
Unless you are operating at low speeds or with considerable cockpit weight you will likely want to
raise the tabs slightly when underway to avoid “plowing” water. With the tabs in the “bow down”
position, you will be able to maintain a plane at the least possible RPMs.
Trim Tab Pump Location
The trim tab pump can be accessed by removing the storage shelf panel on the aft wall inside
the starboard cabin. The hydraulic fluid levels should be checked on an annual basis or anytime
there is evidence of a leak.
TV/DVD
The port cabin TV and the optional hardtop TV are 19" (48cm) flat screen LED units. An A/B
switch, located under the cabin TV cabinet, is used to change between broadcast antenna and shore
cable reception. When the switch is set to A, the TVs receive a signal from the broadcast antenna.
Set the switch to B when connected to the shore cable. The DVD/CD player is a separate unit located
in the port cabin, forward of the wall cabinet. Both TVs and the DVD/CD player receive power from
the fuse block located behind the vinyl covered panel above the wall cabinet in the port cabin. An
auxiliary input switch, located beside the cabin TV, is used to select the source for the AUX IN
function of the stereo; either the hardtop TV or the DVD player. The selected device will play to the
stereo which, in turn, will output to the boats speakers once the AUX IN mode is selected. The DVD
player includes an auxiliary audio/video input which allows for external devices such as gaming
systems to be connected to the TV using standard RCA cables.
