ing speeds to make minor adjustments in the fore and
aft and beam-to-beam angle of the boat.
To use the trim tabs:
1. Switch the Trim Tabs circuit breaker on the Bridge
Breaker Panel "ON".
2. The trim tabs controls are located at the helm
station. The controls consist of two switches. The
port switch controls the port tab; the starboard
switch controls the starboard tab. Each switch is
labeled "BOW UP" and "BOW DOWN." Before
advancing the throttles, press both switches on the
"BOW UP" side for 5 seconds. This lifts the trim
tabs to the full "up" position.
3. Advance the throttles to bring the boat on plane.
Adjust the engine RPMs for cruising speed.
Do not overtrim your boat. When adjusting the trim
tabs, press their control switches for only one-half
second at a time, then allow the boat to respond.
Continue to adjust the trim tabs in this manner until
the boat is at the desired trim angle. Over-trimming
can cause the bow to veer and may lead to loss of
control. Always reset the trim tabs to the BOW UP
position before advancing throttles to achieve plane.
Accelerating the boat to planing speed while the trim
tabs are lowered can cause a loss of control.
4. Use the trim tabs individually to make beam-to-
beam adjustments. If the majority of your passen-
gers are sitting on the port side, you may find that
the starboard side of your boat is riding higher than
the port side. Use the "BOW DOWN" side of the
starboard trim tab switch to adjust the trim.
If your passengers decide to shift to the other side
of the boat, level the boat by pressing the "BOW
UP" side of the starboard trim tab switch for a few
seconds. This undoes your previous adjustment.
Then, use the "BOW DOWN" side of the port trim
tab switch to adjust the trim.
