Shower Sump
The shower sump is located beneath the lift out board in the floor of the helm storage
compartment. The “Shower Sump” switch on the DC panel must be on for the sump pump to
operate. The shower sump collects and discharges drainage from the head shower and condensation
from the air conditioners. The sump pump should be turned on whenever any of these are in use.
The shower sump contains a filter which should always be installed when using the shower to
prevent the sump pump from becoming clogged. Similar to a bilge pump, the sump pump is
activated automatically by a float switch to discharge the collected water overboard via a thru hull.
See "Shower Sump" on page 6-9 for maintenance information.
Stereo
The stereo is a marine AM/FM receiver with an integrated iPod
®
/iPhone dock and built-in
Bluetooth
®
. It is located at the helm on the port console panel. There are eight speakers, two located
in the port console, two in the bow inserts, two in the hardtop, and two in the cockpit. The stereo can
be remotely operated with touch pads mounted at the helm station and in the port bow insert. Refer
to the stereo owner’s manual in your Owner’s Packet for specific instructions on using this unit.
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. 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.
