Owner’s Manual Supplement
Power Trim and Tilt
The stern drive on your boat is
equipped with power trim and tilt.
The engine operation and maintenance
manual in your owner’s packet
describes proper power trim and tilt
operation.
Trim Tabs
The trim tabs may be used to help keep
your boat level at cruising speeds.
The trim tabs are controlled by two rocker
switches at the helm. Before using the trim tabs
read and understand the trim tab operation man-
ual included in your boat’s owner’s packet.
Observe the following:
•
Once cruising speed is reached, the port or
starboard trim switch may be used (one at a
time) to level the boat. Perform trim tab
adjustment with several short touches to the
switch rather than one long one. After each
short touch allow several seconds for the hull
to react.
•
The trim tab hydraulic fluid reservoir is
located in the engine compartment. The fluid level must be checked periodically (at least once a year) and refilled
as necessary.
Bilge Pumps
Your boat is equipped with two impeller-type bilge pumps. The bilge pumps are automatically controlled by float
switches (see"Autofloat Switches"on the next page). The bilge pumps can also be controlled by switches on the dash.
