NOTE
When backing down hard such as can occur in fishing, the extreme force on the tabs from the
water can damage the trim tabs or cylinders if they are not in the full "UP" position
.
TRIM TAB SYSTEM DIAGRAM - TYPICAL
The pump/reservoir for the trim tabs is located in aft center bilge area, under the aft center cockpit
hatch. Check the fluid level in the reservoir before operating the trim tabs. The hydraulic fluid level
can be seen through the translucent reservoir container mounted on the bottom of the pump.
Hydromatic transmission fluid is used in this system to actuate the cylinders. If addition of fluid is
necessary, remove the screw in the center of the top cover and lift the cover off. The small plug is
removed from the corner of the pump / reservoir and fluid is added using a small funnel to bring
fluid level to correct height.
