Be extremely careful when operating in a following sea. The effect of trim tabs is amplified under such
conditions. Steering and handling difficulties can result from improper trim tab usage, particularly in a
following sea. Always raise the tabs to the full bow "UP" position in these conditions.
When running into a chop, a slight bow down attitude will improve the ride. Be
careful not to over trim. Handling difficulties may result.
TRIM TAB INDICATOR
While the switches are labeled to indicate the reaction of the bow of the boat, the
L.E.D. displays indicate the position of the trim tabs. As an example, when adjusting
the starboard bow up or down, the L.E.D. indicator on the right side of the panel will
be activated indicating the movement of the port tab. Refer to the trim tab operation
manual.
2.10 Compass
The compass is on top of the helm. To adjust the compass, read the instructions on “Compass Compensation”
given to you in the literature packet. The compass cannot be adjusted accurately at the factory as it must be
compensated for the influence of the electrical equipment and electronics unique to your boat. Therefore, the
compass should be adjusted by a professional after the electronics and additional electrical accessories are
installed and before operating the boat.
2.11 Bow Thruster
The bow thruster is electrically driven and controlled by a joystick on the helm. To
operate the bow thruster, the master switch on the main distribution panel must be
turned on. The bow thruster should be activated in short bursts of a few second to
preserve battery life. The bow thruster is accessed by removing the bottom center
drawer under the forward berth. Its battery is located under the forward berth and
is charged by the house battery charger. Refer to the bow thruster manual for
operating instructions, maintenance and warranty information.
DO NOT OPERATE THE BOW THRUSTER CLOSE TO SWIMMERS AS A POWERFUL
SUCTION OF WATER IS GENERATED DURING USE THAT CAN CAUSE SERIOUS
INJURY.
DO NOT RUN THE BOW THRUSTER OUT OF THE WATER. THE MOTOR WILL
OVERSPEED RESULTING IN DAMAGE TO THE UNIT AND MAY INVALIDATE THE
WARRANTY.
