Trim tabs are also useful in correcting a port or starboard running list. If the boat is listing to
the port side, press the starboard trim tab switch toward “bow down”. Press the port trim tab
switch toward “bow down” to correct a starboard list. This will tend to lower the bow by pulling
the higher side to a level position. If your bow is already in a low position and your tabs are down,
you may correct a listing condition by pressing the trim tab switch toward “bow up”. This will
cause the low side to rise and level the boat. The running angle will also gradually improve.
Trim tabs in the extreme “bow up” positions will have no effect on the boat's ride. Trim tabs in
the extreme “bow down” position will cause the boat to come on plane with minimum bow rise.
Unless you are operating at low speeds or with considerable cockpit weight you will likely want
to raise the tabs slightly when underway to avoid “plowing” water. With the tabs in the “bow
down” position, you will be able to maintain a plane at the least possible RPMs.
Trim Tab Pump Location
The trim tab pump is located in the starboard console storage compartment. The hydraulic
fluid levels should be checked on an annual basis or anytime there is evidence of a leak.

PERATION
To operate the washdown, open the seacock with the washdown I.D. tag located on the
starboard side of the aft bilge. Depress the washdown switch on the accessory switch panel. This
system will now be pressurized at the washdown outlet. A hose with a spray nozzle attached may
be used intermittently without turning the switch off in the same fashion as a home garden hose
with a nozzle. The washdown pump has an internal pressurization switch that will maintain water
pressure as needed until the switch is turned off at the switch panel. The pump is mounted in the
aft rigging compartment beneath the aft rigging lid.
See “Livewell/Washdown Layout” on page 8–24 for a system diagram.
