Trim Tabs (2400SD Only) (If Equipped)
•
Before using the trim tabs
read the trim tab operation
manual.
•
The trim tabs can be used to
help keep your boat level at
cruising speeds.
•
The trim tabs are controlled
by two rocker switches at
the helm.
•
Once cruising speed is
reached, the port or star-
board trim switch may be
used (one at a time) to level
the boat.
•
Perform trim tab adjust-
ment with several short
touches to the switch rather
than one long one.
•
After each short touch
allow several seconds for
the hull to react.
•
Periodically (at least once a year) check the fluid level in the trim tab hydraulic fluid reservoir and refill as neces-
sary. For the location of the fluid reservoir see the Component Locations section of Chapter 2 in this Supplement.
LOSS OF CONTROL HAZARD!
Improper use of trim tabs will cause loss of control!
•
Do NOT allow anyone unfamiliar with trim tabs to use them.
•
Do NOT use trim tabs in a following sea as they will cause broaching or other unsafe
handling characteristics.
•
Do NOT use trim tabs to compensate for excessive unequal weight distribution.
