Trim tabs are standard on some models and optional on others. Trim tabs
also help the operator trim the boat. Trim tabs are mounted on the port
and starboard transom below the water line. The operator can control
the trim tabs at the helm with rocker switches. (Figure 5.4) Pushing the
switch activates the electric system which moves its tab up or down.
If the trim tabs are angled down, they cut into the water as it passes under
the hull to force the stern up and the bow down (Figure 5.5). Trim tabs
also compensate for uneven loads in the boat by allowing the operator to
trim up one side of the boat or the other.
Chaparral utilizes a Lenco™ trim tab retractor. Tab switch integrates a
completely waterproof switch with a trim tab indicator. It is optional on all
new trim tab kits and is able to retrofi t the standard tactile switch.
Lenco retractor feature
Lenco marine’s trim tab retractor feature operates from either a 12v-24v
signal or from an engine’s analog tach signal. The purpose of the acces-
sory signal input is to turn the trim tab control box on and off. When the
control box is turned off, the trim tabs will retract.
Turn-on condition
When the Lenco accessory input is connected to either a 12v-24v signal
or an analog tach signal, the control box turns on and the trim tab be-
comes active. At this time the boat operator can run the trim tabs up or
down.
Turn-off condition
If the Lenco accessory input is connected to an analog tach signal, the
control box will shut down when the tach signal is lost (i.e. engine stalls,
stops). If the Lenco accessory input is connected to a 12v-24v source,
the control box will shut down when the voltage source is removed.
Test mode
Lenco marine’s trim tab system includes a test mode feature that allows
the boat operator to by-pass the accessory input signal by holding down
all four buttons on the key pad simultaneously for approximately three to
four seconds. This will turn on the control box and allow the trim tabs to
run up or down.
Once the control box is turned on in the test mode, the boat operator can
turn the control box off by holding down all four buttons on the key pad
simultaneously.
Important: If the control box is turned on in the test mode and sub-
sequently receives a signal to turn it on via the accessory input, the
boat operator can not turn off the control box by holding down all
four buttons on the key pad. The box will only turn off by removing
the signal from the accessory input.
Refer to your engine manufacturer’s owner’s manual for information con-
cerning maintenance and operation.
