330 SPORT YACHT
The engine driven power steering system has
specifi c fl uid and maintenance requirements. The
fl uid level and belt tension should be checked fre-
quently. The outdrives are equipped with grease
fi ttings and must be lubricated periodically. Please
refer to the engine owner’s manual for mainte-
nance information on the power steering system
and lubricating the outdrive.
Trim Tab Maintenance
The trim tab actuators and interceptors are electric
and made of composite material that is corrosion
free and will not cause any galvanic corrosion.
They require no routine maintenance except to
periodically inspect the tab actuators for marine
growth and test the system to ensure that it is
operating properly.
Marine growth can interfere with the proper op-
eration of the water interceptors and actuators.
To reduce problems due to marine growth, always
make sure the trim tabs return to the full “UP”
position after operating the boat and periodically
inspect and clean marine growth from the actua-
tors and interceptors.
To discourage any marine growth on interceptor or
actuator, antifouling paint can be applied. When
applying paint to the actuator, make sure it is
fully retracted.
Do not paint the water inter-
ceptor above the area that is exposed when
retracted. The bottom paint will damage
the seals when the interceptor is retracted
and allow sea water to enter the actuator.
Contact your dealer or the trim tab manufacturer
for information regarding the correct bottom paint
for the actuators.
Refer to the trim tab owner’s manual for additional
maintenance information and operating instruc-
tions.
