TROPHY Owner’s Manual Supplement
1901 Bay - 2101 Bay - 2401 Bay
There are two (2) standard livewells on your boat. A 28
gallon (106 Liter) unit located in the center stern deck,
and a 15 gallon (56.7 Liter) unit located under the forward
console seat cushion.
An optional 15 gallon (56.7 Liter) livewell can be added,
replacing the storage box in the aft port deck. The option
includes a second intake seacock/pump to service the
livewell.

Propeller
The engine on the your boat has been equipped with a
propeller; which our tests have shown to be best suited for
general use under normal conditions and load. In some
situations you may wish to change the propellers to give
your boat slightly different performance characteristics.
Changing your boats running surface, such as the
addition of bottom paint will affect the type and size of
propeller required.
In general, changing to a lower pitch propeller will
increase acceleration and load pulling capability, with
a slight decrease in top end speed. If you choose to
change propellers, the type should be discussed with
your dealer.
All propellers are designed to provide maximum forward
thrust, so the reverse thrust of the propeller will not be
as efficient.
Disconnect power by removing the battery
cables before performing any work on the
propeller or lower unit of the engine.

DANGER
It is advised that you always carry a spare
propeller, propeller hardware and propeller
wrench on board. Should your propeller become
damaged it can be easily replaced.
NOTICE
Under no circumstances use a propeller which
allows the engine to operate at a higher than
recommended RPM.
Hydraulic Steering
Your boat is equipped with a hydraulic steering system
(See chart on page 13).
While underway the engine exerts a tremendous amount
of torque on the steering wheel. The hydraulic system
makes it easier to transition between turns without having
to fight the wheel.
Operation
When turning the steering wheel either clockwise or
counterclockwise, the helm pump forces hydraulic fluid
through hoses to and from the engine cylinder which is
connected to the tiller arm. The engine cylinder moves
the tiller arm to port and starboard.
Maintenance
Proper maintenance of this system will ensure worry-free
usage for the life of your boat. Steering system integrity is
imperative when engaging in recreational water activities.
Special care and attention must be taken to ensure proper
performance of the steering system and should include
the following:
• After the fi rst few hours of operation and
at regular intervals, check all fasteners and the
complete steering system for security and
integrity.
• Inspect for corrosion. Any part affected by
corrosion must be replaced.
• When replacing parts, self locking hardware
must be used.
• Check the fl uid level in the helm pump unit.
• Lubricate slides on the engine cylinders.
All steering systems whether mechanical or hydraulic
require regular inspections, periodic adjustment and
occasional replacement may be necessary.
Continuous kinking, rubbing and twisting may eventually
weaken hose(s) to a point of rupture during normal
steering operation. Visually inspect all hoses and fittings
for wear and damage.
