CAUTION
THE TRIM TABS CAN BE DAMAGED BY BOAT TRAILERS IF THE
BUNKS EXTEND BEYOND THE TRANSOM OR THE BOAT IS
NOT CENTERED PROPERLY. THEY CAN ALSO BE DAMAGED
BY FORK LIFTS AT DRY STACK MARINAS DURING LIFTING.
TO REDUCE THE POSSIBILITY OF DAMAGE, ALWAYS MAKE
SURE THE TABS ARE IN THE FULL UP POSITION BEFORE
LOADING YOUR BOAT ON A TRAILER OR HAVING IT LIFTED
BY A FORK LIFT.
Trim Tab Operation
Before leaving the dock, make sure that the tabs
are in the full “UP” position by holding the control
in the bow up position for ten (10) seconds.
Always establish the intended heading and cruise
speed before attempting to adjust the hull attitude
with the trim tabs. After stabilizing speed and
direction, move the trim tabs to achieve a level
side to side running attitude being careful not to
over trim.
After depressing a trim tab switch, always wait a
few seconds for the change in the trim plane to
take effect. Avoid depressing the switch while
awaiting the trim plane reaction. By the time the
effect is noticeable the trim tab plane will have
moved too far and thus the boat will be in an
overcompensated position.
When running at a speed that will result in the
boat falling off plane, lowering the tabs slightly
bow down will improve the running angle and op-
erating efficiency. Too much bow down tabs can
reduce operating efficiency and cause substantial
steering and handling difficulties.
Be extremely careful when operating in a following
sea. The effect of trim tabs is amplified under such
conditions. Steering and handling difficulties can
result from improper trim tab usage, particularly
in a following sea. Always raise the tabs to the
full bow up position in these conditions.
When running at high speeds be sure that the
tabs are in the full “UP” position. Only enough
trim plane action should be used to compensate
for any listing. Trim tabs are extremely sensitive
at high speeds. Adjust for this and be prepared
to slow down if difficulties arise.
When running into a chop, a slight bow down at-
titude will improve the ride. Be careful not to over
trim. Handling difficulties may result.

4.8 Control Systems Maintenance
Control Maintenance
Periodic inspection of the control systems and all
connections should be made. Signs of rust, cor-
rosion, wear or other deterioration should imme-
diately be serviced. Generally, periodic lubrication
of all moving parts and connections with a light
waterproof grease is in order.
