Maintenance
With very little care your equipment will maintain its
appearance and operate trouble free. When at port,
extend the outriggers and flush with fresh water,
wipe with a dry cloth and allow to air dry. When
dry collapse the outriggers to the stowed position.
Periodically lightly lubricate the cam and the shaft
of the cam knob to keep them working freely.
To retrieve the
outriggers:
Starting with the inboard
most section, Push in the
locking button on each
succeeding section and
insert sections into the
shaft until all sections are
completely seated in the
stowed position.
Trim tabs
Your boat is equipped with electrically powered trim
tabs located on the lower section of your transom,
port and starboard.
They are used to trim the list of your boat caused by
uneven weight distribution, too many persons on one
side of the boat, or strong cross winds.
An untrimmed boat will:
• Decrease operator visibility
• Reduce fuel economy
• Increase wear on your engine.
Trim tabs are also beneficial when accelerating
from a non-planing to a planing operation. While
accelerating there is some loss of forward visibility
before the boat is on plane, the trim tabs can be used
to adjust for forward visibility while transitioning to
a planing operation.
Ensure continuous visibility of other boats,
swimmers and obstacles during bow-up
transition to planing. Adjust engine to an
intermediate trim as soon as boat is on plane.
NOTICE
Operation
The trim tabs are controlled by rocker switches
located on the center part of your console above
the throttle control. Short momentary bursts of the
rockers will achieve proper attitude of the hull. The
trim tab switch is marked “bow up” and “bow down”.
Proper use of trim tabs:
• Level the boat fore and aft, port and starboard.
• Reduce resistance in the steering system.
• Provide a smoother more stable ride.
• Increase speed and fuel efficiency.
Electrolytic Corrosion & Zinc Anodes
Electrolytic corrosion of metals on power boats can
result in serious deterioration. You should be aware
of the possibility of electrolysis and/or galvanic
action (the deterioration of metals due to dissimilar
characteristics when placed in salt water).
