Trim Tabs
Your Open 282 TE has trim tabs installed as a standard feature. They
are attached to the bottom edge of the transom, as shown in the image
below. When the trim tabs control at the helm (pictured to the right) is
pressed, the trim tabs automatically move into position. The force of
passing water on these tabs results in upward pressure at the transom,
which will lower the bow. This helps to improve the performance of
the boat in a wide range of weight, weather, and water conditions. The
LEDs on the control panel indicate the position of the tabs. If all are lit
up, that tab is all the way down. The port and starboard tabs may be
operated independently if necessary. To lower the starboard bow,
lower the port tab. To lower the port bow, lower the starboard tab.
