The turn fins on the transom of the boat can be
adjusted to your preferred style of driving the Velocity.
For tighter turns, use an appropriately sized wrench
to loosen the nut and adjust the fins up towards the
boat. For wider turns, the fins should be adjusted
down toward the water.
Make sure to tighten the nuts after adjustment prior to
running the Velocity again.
The trim tabs on the Velocity can be adjusted to modify
the running attitude of the boat. Turn the trim tab
adjuster screws clockwise to “push” the bow down into
the water if the boat “porpoises” or runs with an
excessive bow-high attitude at full speed. Adjust both
trim tabs equally and remember that one or two turns
will make a significant difference in handling!
Conversely, if the hull feels too “planted” (bow-down),
adjust the trim tabs anti-clockwise to compensate.
Always make small changes and test-run to find the
ideal handling on your specific lake and water
conditions.
